Former 5-sailed and originally 7-storey tower mill built in 1843, possibly on the site of an earlier mill. The mill was tail-winded around 1916 and the resultant damage required the removal of the top 2-storeys. Milling continued until 1972 using an auxiliary engine. http://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/windmills/section.asp?catId=3339
