This is a tower mill with four patent sails and fantail winding. The tower is tarred brick and clunch and the mill was built in 1820 and worked until c1955.
This view is into the cap and includes the brake wheel, wallower and part of the striking gear. The bucket hangs below where the striking rod enters the hollow windshaft to adjust the shutters on the patent sails.
