Erected in 1798 as a short, well 'battered' mill, this tower mill was later raised by another floor, resulting in a rather pleasing concave tower which survives today. This work may have been carried out shortly before 1815, when it is described as being 'newly built', although such statements should be carefully vetted as auctioneers can be rather generous in their descriptions of property. It worked until the mid 1930s and then continued by engine, and finally by electric motor until 1969 when it closed down, subsequently being gutted of all machinery. The original gear had been taken out many years previously. Four patent sails drove three pairs of stones, two Grey and one French. The tower is in good condition (1983) and is used for storage. {1} For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {2}
