An open trestle post mill that could date from 1712 and was possibly rebuilt in 1819. The current patent sails were installed c1912-16. It is winded by a fantail and there are two sets of French burr stones in the buck. It is listed Grade II*.
This shows the French burr stones at the tail of the metal windshaft. The smaller diameter wheel is for the sack hoist drive.
