Viewed from sheep pasture on the other side of the drain. A rare survival - the last remaining 18th century timber-built smock mill in Norfolk - Tunstall dyke smock mill is located a short distance further to the east of Tunstall dyke tower mill >
Link on the eastern side of Tunstall dyke. The remaining two storeys of the mill, still housing a diesel engine, are weatherboarded and have eight cants with chamfered edges and cross-braces; in 1994 a sloping corrugated iron roof was affixed for protection. The remains of a sluice are nearby.
Smock mills are a type of windmill constructed from timber, with a sloping, horizontally weatherboarded and capped tower, usually with six or eight sides. Its name is derived from the supposed resemblance to the smock worn by farmers in earlier days. They differ from tower mills in that the latter are usually cylindrical rather than hexagonal or octagonal, and built from brick, stone or masonry instead of timber.
