Full Description
Site of wind mill.
Marked on (S1).
E. Rose (NAU), 7 November 1979.
A post mill built in 1770, last used 1916, demolished 1937. Foundations remain.
Information from [1].
E. Rose (NAU), 2 February 1982.
However (S2) in file says that windmill was dismantled in 'about' 1925. But the accompanying picture of a house was taken 1938 and there may be some confusion. [1]'s date of 1937 is more likely to be correct.
E. Rose (NLA), 23 June 1993.
In 1782 the site consisted of the mill, two barns, two stables, a bullock lodge with a granary over it, sheds and cart lodges. These buildings were still present in 1906, but in 2008 only one barn and the house remain.
A section of the windmill sail is now at Bridewell Museum, Norwich. The quarter bars from the sail were incorporated into the roof of the barn when it was altered in 1939 and will be retained during restoration work and conversion to a residence in 2008.
Information from (S3).
H. Hamilton (NLA), 19 February 2008.
