The old post windmill near Fulney Church was demolished in about 1915 because it had become unsafe. The owner was Mr W. B. Lowden. The sails were forty feet long. Before Mr Lowden the mill had been owned for many years by Mr Reynolds and was still known as Reynold's Mill. {6}
White's Directory of 1856 records a mill owner called Allen Reynolds on Holbeach Road. {7}
