Built in 1871, this tower mill worked by wind until the mid 1920s. It carried on using an engine for many years after this. It now stands disused and is rapidly decaying as the tower is no longer roofed over. It had four patent sails which drove two, and possibly three pairs of stones. At any rate, three pairs of stones remain, two of greys and one of French. One of the pairs of greys is fitted up with a direct underdrive by engine through a pair of bevel wheels and fast and loose pulleys outside the tower. Its runner is fitted with a 'damsel', a very universal feature in a country where overdrive is virtually universal. The gearing is all iron, with mortice stone nuts. The upright shaft's upper section and the old sack hoist are missing, since direct engine drive was employed latterly and a rather neat 'slack chain' sackhoist has been arranged from the horizontal engine drive shaft. {1}
