Description

The remains of a former windmill are located at the back of the Old Mill Public House. This structure likely dates from the early 18th century and is a red brick round tower that stands four storeys tall with battered walls. It features gauged, flat brick arches above casement windows, which are set in stucco-lined reveals on the north, east, and south sides. The windows are straight up, although the reveals follow the battered line of the walls. The sails and cap of the windmill have been removed.
