II*

Red brick round tower mill built in 1787 for Joseph Linsell (the date is scratched on a brick). It was last worked as a mill in 1910. In 1929 it was bought and restored by Lord Blyth. The wood cap was rebuilt but the shutters were not restored to the sails. A unique feature of the cap is an oval shutter with a ladder beneath it for use when the cap is painted. The mill is of five storeys, with three raised bands around the tower.

The mill used as a Boy Scout centre and in good repair at the time of listing. AM.
