Summary
A brick tower mill, probably built in about 1742 and last worked in 1926. The mill's sails were highly unusual in that they rotated clockwise, movement in the opposite direction being more common. The surviving two stories of the tower were converted to a garage in 1932, and the building is now topped by an oversized slate roof.
