Corton Windmill

Corton Mill is a Grade II listed tower mill at Corton, Suffolk, England, which has been converted to residential accommodation.

History

Corton Mill was erected in 1837. It ceased work before the First World War and was later truncated by one storey. The mill was used for many years as a store.

Description

Corton Mill was a six-storey tower mill. It had a boat shaped cap winded by a bladed fantail. The four Patent sails drove two pairs of millstones. The mill was built with room to add a further two pairs of millstones. Photographs show the fantail to have been six bladed and that the sails had ten bays of three shutters.
