Description

This is a tower mill from the early 19th century, constructed of pale red brick, with some parts rendered. The building stands three storeys tall, but the cap and sails are missing. There are doors on either side of the mill, although one is blocked. The doors have segmental brick lintels, and the windows on the first and second floors also feature similar lintels.

Local climate

Windmill 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 82% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 79% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 38 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 73% of listed buildings. Of these, 18 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.
