Description
Gaddesby Windmill is a windmill that has been converted into a cattle food store. It was built in the early 19th century and has undergone alterations in the mid and late 20th century. The structure is made of brick and features a felted conical roof. The windmill has a battered round tower divided into four stages. The first stage includes a door on the west side and windows on the south-west and north-east sides. The second stage has a blocked door to the north and a door to the south, with windows on the east and west sides, and a blocked window to the north-east. The third stage features a door to the south and windows on the west and north-east sides, while the fourth stage has a blocked window to the west. All openings in the structure have segmental heads. Inside, there are two floors, but no machinery or fittings remain.
