Built in 1820, this replaced a post mill. It worked until c.1908 and then was left to become derelict. The two remaining sails were removed in 1927 and the upper part of the tower was pulled down early in the war because of its proximity to an airfield. It now stands disused as a derelict shell. There were four patent sails driving three pairs of stones, two grey and one French.
