Description
Kelsale Mill is a tower windmill built in 1856 by John Whitmore, a millwright from Wickham Market. The structure is made of brick and has six floors above the ground floor, with the lower two floors tarred and the upper floors whitewashed. Each quarter features small pane cast iron casement windows with segmental arches. The cap, sails, and internal machinery are missing, and the tower has a flat roof with a guard rail and a tall flagpole. Standing at 16.8 meters high, it is a prominent local landmark. There are remains of a steam mill attached to the east, although the top floor has been removed.
Local climate
Kelsale Mill sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 84% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 61% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 12 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 89% of listed buildings. Of these, 7 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.
