Summary

An illustrated road Atlas of England and Wales produced by John Ogilby in 1675 (S1) includes a schematic strip map of the road from London to Yarmouth. A windmill and a small building on a hill are depicted between Fritton and Belton to the south of road and between the 227 and 228 mile markings. The schematic nature of the map means that it is not possible to determine the exact location of the windmill. It is likely that all traces of the structure have long since disappeared.

Map

No mapped location recorded.

An illustrated road Atlas of England and Wales produced by John Ogilby in 1675 (S1) includes a schematic strip map of the road from London to Yarmouth. The map is measured in miles and furlongs and depicts the sites of churches, windmills, and country seats as well as hills and river crossings. A windmill and a small building on a hill are depicted between Fritton and Belton (the latter represented by Relton Chaple) to the south of road and between the 227 and 228 mile markings. The schematic nature of the map means that it is not possible to determine the exact location of the windmill. It is likely that all traces of the structure have long since disappeared.
