Description

Tutelina Mill is a disused tower mill dated 1865. It features a red brick tower with three floors above the ground floor. The cap frame is intact, but the cap roof, winding gear, and sails are missing. The machinery below the curb is largely intact and includes an iron upright shaft, a mortice (wood and iron) crownwheel, an iron spurwheel, and one pair of millstones, while the second pair has been replaced by a crusher. An auxiliary power source, a Crossley oil engine, is still present. This mill is a good example of a small, late windmill and is one of the few tower mills in Suffolk that retains the potential for full restoration.

Local climate

Tutelina Mill sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 85% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 87% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 36 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 62% of listed buildings. Of these, 19 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.
