Crown Mill

A mid-to-late 19th century windmill and attached steam corn mill, later converted into residential units between 1990 and 1992. The building is constructed of red brick with yellow brick dressings for the steam mill, and has slate roofs. The round, battered windmill tower rises eight stages, with reglazed windows on each stage and segment-headed doors at ground level on both the east and west sides. Adjacent to the windmill is a four-storey steam mill with attics, arranged as six bays by twelve bays. Segment-headed openings are present throughout. The south side features bays divided by pilaster strips, with the upper floors containing ten cast-iron glazing bar casements. Bays four and eight are blank. The ground floor has unequally spaced openings, incorporating a flat-headed cart entrance, and blank bays four, eight, and ten. The north side displays four upper-floor windows, mostly renewed, and on the ground floor, a renewed door flanked by a single window to the right, and three windows with a blank bay to the left. The east end features two unequal gables, each with three cast-iron glazing bar casements on the upper floors and single windows in the gable heads. The west gable has irregular fenestration and is topped with a lobster back cowl. The interior, which was not accessible during the survey, is understood to lack original machinery or fittings. This is the second tallest windmill in Lincolnshire.
