Description
Harpley Flour Mill is a tower windmill constructed around 1832. It is located 15 metres north-east of the Mill House on Mill Road, Harpley. The windmill is built of red brick with a whitewashed basement and is circular in plan, rising five floors. Only the tower remains. The ground floor has boarded doors, while the fourth and fifth floors have windows. Brick courses above the parapet date from 1939 to 1945, likely the result of wartime repairs. The windmill replaced a postmill that previously stood on the site. The Mill House itself is not of group value. The structure is documented in Harry Apling's book, Norfolk Corn and Other Industrial Windmills.
