Description
The Old Windmill is a brick windmill, constructed in 1852. The sails and cap were removed in 1920. The structure is tarred, with a concrete slab roof. It comprises a battered, round tower of three stages. The ground stage has, to the north, a stable door with a segmental head, and an inscribed datestone reading '1852' above it. An east-facing casement window is also present. To the west, there is a flat-roofed 20th-century link to a 20th-century bungalow. The second stage has casement windows to the north and south. The third stage also has casement windows to the north and south.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
