Summary
Post-mill, dating from 1770 with 19th and 20th century renovation.
Full Description
Post-mill dated 1770 on one of the crosstrees. Rebuilt 1921 and restored in 1951. Two-storey body, timber-framed with pitch pine weatherboarding. Gambrel corrugated iron roof. Four common sails (no longer covered). Internal machinery completely restored and in workable order. Roundhouse around base was probably added in C19, rubble with tile roof.
