This post windmill stands at the northern end of Banstead Heath. Documentary evidence suggests that this site has carried a mill or mills for more than six centuries. The mill was assisted by a stationary steam engine, before it ceased turning in 1902. It has been hit by 2 bombs, once in 1941 and again in 1944 when it was hit by a flying bomb.
