URPoint Details
It is believed that the windmill was built in the early 17th century, although the main post has a carving dating 1711. The mill was used until the 1920s. Early maps show a windmill at another site.
Legend has it that this mill was moved, on rollers, the half mile or so to its present position. The expression 'ground to a halt' came from the miller's method of stopping a windmill by over-feeding grain in order to clog the millstones.
