This tower mill was built in 1814 as a four storeyed mill. In 1859 it was raised by an incredible three storeys, the new portion being built up vertically to use the old cap. The resulting mill looked rather odd and the whole scheme was probably made necessary by the erection of a tall granary by the mill which would otherwise have robbed it of wind. In this form it worked until the late 1940s, latterly on two sails after a tailwinding in 1944. The cap and two storeys were taken off by late 1949, work being done by an electric hammer mill from then onwards. Up to the time it was taken down, it relied solely on wind power, in the form of four single sided patent sails. The breakwheel was of wooden clasp-arm construction with an iron tooth ring. The wallower and the other machinery was of iron, but here the stone nuts were solid and the great spur wheel had morticed wooden cogs, unusual in Lincolnshire. Originally two pairs of French and one of greys were driven, but like most mills it ended up with two pairs of greys and one of French stones following the demise of the flour trade early last century.
