Description

This is a 18th-century tower mill located on the west side of Empingham Road in Ketton. It is constructed of squared stone and has a rendered finish. The tower has a squat conical shape and stands four stories high on a plinth. The ground floor features two door openings and two window openings. At the first floor level, there are window openings on the south, west, and east sides, while the second and third floors have window openings on the south and north sides. All openings are beneath timber lintels. There are no internal floors or machinery remaining in the mill.
