Tower Mill, 350 Metres South East Of White House

Tower Mill, located 350 metres southeast of White House, is a disused tower mill built around 1840 by John Whitmore, a millwright from Wickham Market. The mill features a small white brick tower, with one half covered in cement render and all sections tarred. It has three floors above the ground floor, although the tower has been reduced in height by about 2 metres around 1940 to the level of the fourth floor. The mill is adorned with small-paned sash windows, a boarded entrance door, and a first-floor loading bay. The cap and sails were removed in the late 1930s. Inside, the machinery includes the lower half of an iron upright shaft, an iron spurwheel with wooden cogs, an iron stone nut and spindle, and one pair of millstones out of two, which are complete with tentering. The sprattle beam that supports the upright shaft is held up by H frames against the wall, which is typical of Whitmore's design practices.
