Description

The windmill, dated 1787, is a stone tower mill with rendered brick upper stages. Originally seven storeys tall, it now stands at six storeys. The building is round in plan with battered walls. The stone lower section features keyblocks above the stone window heads, and the ground floor doorway has a keyblock inscribed with "?E 1787".

Local climate

Windmill sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 94% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 58% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.
