Summary

This is the site of the North Mill, a smock mill brought from Lincolnshire to Dilham, and then on to Wymondham by railway in 1858. An oil engine was installed in 1911, but the mill ceased working in 1939 and the fantail was blown off in 1947. Finally in 1950 the mill was burnt down, and only a granary remains today.
