A post mill built in 1786 which was still working in 1923, but had been demolished by 1951. It had an associated roundhouse measuring 21 feet in diameter by twelve feet three inches in height. The land on which Laughterton Mill was originally built on was sold and the new owner refused to buy the mill. It was therefore moved and re-erected on a mound a quarter of a mile away. {3} | Subjects: | General Archaeology Windmills | Temporal: | 1540 - 1900 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
