History

The mill first began operation in the 1830s and was used for agriculture and animal produce. [2] However, by 1888. The windmill was closed and converted into a private dwelling before being later left abandoned. [3]

In 1971, the windmill was brought and restored with alterations made into a private residence. The mill locally became known as the "Coffee Pot" due to its shape. [4]

Present day

Today, the mill is part of a private residence and can only be seen on aerial images due to it being located far from any main roads. [5]
