Gazeley Mill is a tower mill at Gazeley, Suffolk, England which has been converted to residential accommodation.
Gazeley Mill was built in 1837 by William Death, replacing a nearby post mill. [1] The mill drove five pairs of millstones. [2] A Gippeswyck oil engine was installed by Turners, the Soham millwrights in 1880. In 1893, a one-and-a-half-sack [3] roller mill made by Messrs E R & F Turner of Ipswich was installed. This was driven by the oil engine, [1] which could also drive three of the five pairs of millstones. [2] The mill ceased work c.1920 and was stripped of machinery and house converted in 1947. [4]
