History

Barnham Mill was built for the Duke of Grafton in 1821. [1] It is likely that the builder was George Bloomfield of Thelnetham. The mill was worked until 1923. [2] By the Second World War it was derelict, with the cap reduced to the frame and the fantail missing. [3] The mill was stripped of machinery in 1967. [1] It was subsequently incorporated into a house built alongside. [2]

Description

Barnham Mill is a three-storey tower mill which had four Patent sails [2] carried on a two piece cast iron windshaft. [1] It had a domed cap which was winded by a fantail. It had three pairs of millstones . [2]
