Described as being 'newly erected' in 1821, this tower mill worked until 1944 when the weather beam broke, continuing by engine for a while after this. It was originally driven by two roller reefing sails and two common sails but ended its life with four patent sails. There were two pairs of stones, one grey and one French. The upper two storeys have been removed and the stump is used as a store. {1}{2}
