Actually in Barrington, but always known as Orwell Mill, completed 22nd September 1822 (according to inscription on base stone in the mill). Built of local clunch. Described as having two pairs of stones, a flour machine, sack tackle and a rigger for use with a portable steam engine. Fitted with single–shuttered clockwise sails and topped with a red-painted ogee cap with a weathercock.
Ceased working c1910, converted 1960 with removal of the sails and dome, and adding ‘inappropriate ’ crenellation on top.
