Description: | A sixty-five foot high brick tower mill which was coated with tar. It has four floors and on the ground floor is the grinding apparatus. The cap was removed but the top was covered. The outbuildings are garages and a warehouse; all in perfect order. {1}
Built in 1825 this tower mill worked until 1910 by wind. It carried on by engine, then by electricity until the late 1960s. A new observatory-type top was put on in 1974 and the tower is now preserved. There were four patent sails, driving three pairs of stones. Of the original gear, only the curb and one grey bedstone remains. Later gear consisting of a roller and a hurst frame with a pair of grey stones also survives. {2}
