Tower Mill Immediately West Of Mill House

The Tower Mill, located immediately west of Mill House in Stansfield, is a derelict structure dating from 1840, as indicated by the datestone "W E 1840" for William Everard. It was likely designed by Bear of Sudbury. The mill is constructed of red brick, with some areas of cement render missing. It features a battered tower that rises five storeys and is circular in plan, although a few brick courses are missing from the top. The cap and sails have been removed since at least the 1920s.

There are two entrance doorways and two loading doorways on the first floor, with boarded doors, some of which are missing. The mill has various window openings under segmental arches, with two retaining 12-paned sash windows, while the other windows are missing. Inside, there are some pitch pine main floor beams, mostly supported on cast iron brackets.

The surviving machinery includes the lower half of a wooden upright shaft, which has a wooden clasp-arm spurwheel mounted on it, featuring two sets of cogs for main and auxiliary drives. Both stone nuts are present, along with some tentering gear that includes one pair of governors. There is also a cast iron pinion drive off the spurwheel, as well as a bolter, wire machine, and smutter. Notably, the bolter is the last surviving machine of its kind in a Suffolk windmill. Some of the machinery likely originated from an earlier mill that once stood on the site.
