Description

Appraisal
This windmill would have originally contained a functioning mechanism and windmill sails, although these no longer remain, the structure is an important reminder of a bygone era as well as being a structure of technical interest. Due to its elevated position it is visible from much of the surrounding countryside and plays an important role in the architectural heritage of the area.
