Description

The building is a tower mill constructed in 1814, which was raised in height in 1859 and later reduced again in 1949. It is made of tarred red brick and features brick battlements. Originally four storeys high, it was increased to seven storeys in 1859, but was brought back down to four storeys with battlements in 1949.

On the west side, there is a doorway with a plank door and a stone inscription above that reads 'W.A.S. 1814', along with three casement windows arranged one above the other. The north side has a doorway with a plank door and two casement windows above it. The south side features two casement windows, one above the other, while the east side has three casement windows arranged similarly. All openings have segmental heads. There is no milling machinery remaining inside the mill.

Local climate

Windmill receives an average of 770 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 65% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 61% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 16 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 84% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
