Black Mill, The Westwood
Originally at least five windmills were located on the Beverley Westwood but the remains of only two survive today.
Most locals know the old windmill tower as Black Mill but actually its real name was Far Mill or Baitson’s Mill after Gilbert Baitson rebuilt it in 1803. A windmill has stood on this site since the 1650’s. After fire damage the Pasture Masters removed its working gear when the lease expired 1868.
Grade II listed. Link
