tower

Derelict for many years, it has recently (2004) had a lot of work done to it. The tower brickwork has been repaired, with new doors and windows installed. A new cap has been fitted which is much the same shape as the original - the two derelict sails have been retained, but there is no provision for replacing the fantail assembly. Unclear what has happened to the internal machinery. The mill is now in the grounds of a house, which appears to be newly built in a traditional style.
