		Built from local ironstone and topped with brick, the Windmill is a five-story tower mill circa 1814. It has an ogee cap and fantail. Originally with six patent sails, known as a Six Arm Lincolnshire Cross. The Mill ceased grinding corn (by then, powered by an engine) in 1952 but continued with cattle feed until 1960. It is one of only four six-sailed windmills remaining in the country and is now a grade 2 listed mill. The mill is being lovingly restored by its owners Vincent and Sarahjayne Fletcher. The mill is part of a 7 acre visitor attraction open to the public 364 days a year and welcomes 35,000 visitors annually. The Tea Room serves lunches and cakes making the site a meeting point and destination. The windmill is at the heart of the site and visitors are free to explore the building.


	The drawings are ongoing as the mill continues with its restoration, so some parts of the images below are speculative.




				Note The sails on this windmill rotate Clockwise. The majority of mill rotate Anti Clockwise
