Description
Tower Mill is a tower windmill built in 1847 by Saunderson of Louth, with a detached, free-standing water wheel added in the 20th century. The mill is constructed of red brick with some areas of colourwash. It features a domical roof that has a faded tarred surface and is adorned with eight glazed rectangular openings around the colourwashed eaves level. The structure stands five storeys tall and has a south-facing doorway with a segmental head that is blocked, along with a 20th-century casement window inserted. Above this, there is another doorway with a segmental head leading to a glazed door that opens onto a wrought iron balcony encircling the mill at the first-floor level. There are two additional 20th-century casement windows above, both with segmental heads. To the north of the tower mill, there is a detached, free-standing dismantled iron waterwheel.
