The tower mill was built by the millwright Johnson of Low Burnham near Haxey in 1876 to replace a post mill. It worked until c.1950 when it was struck by lightning and damaged. Mr Hewitt, the owner, repaired the mill and set it to work again, being awarded a Spab Windmill certificate in 1952. Lightning struck again in 1956, and the mill was thereafter abandoned. It is four stories high with a maximum height of 43 feet and a base diameter of 19 feet. Some of the gear (two pairs of stones, their fittings and gear) was taken out and put into Heage Mill in Derbyshire when that was being renovated in 1973. {1}{2} 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. {5} Heapham Windmill, Heapham.
