Full Description
Aerial photograph showing circular earthwork within Priory Farm (S1). Site of windmill. Earthworks are a shallow depression 6m in diameter. Something hard 6ins down - probably the foundations of the brick roundhouse of a post mill. 1839 tithe map shows mill standing, 1885 OS map shows mill disused. Not shown on 1904 map. Thorpe mentions that a shed is shown between the earthworks and corner of the road to the S and a slightly hollow trackway leads past it up to the mill. Also that a gate is still embedded in the hedge at this point (S2). According to Flint, first mapped in 1824 and gone by 1902 (S3).
