Description
Tower Mill is a mid-19th century tower mill located on the south-west side of Potton Road in Guilden Morden. It is constructed of tarred brick and features four tapering towers. The ground floor has a halved boarded door, with a loft door above and windows at each stage of the structure. Originally, the mill had an ogee cap, but the interior machinery has been removed recently. It is said that the mill was built in 1865 by Cross and Carne of Bedfordshire.
