Meeten's Mill is a grade II listed [1] smock mill at West Chiltington, Sussex, England, which has been converted to residential use.
Meeten's Mill was originally built at Monkmead, and moved to West Chiltington in 1838. The mill first appeared on the West Chiltington tithe map of 1840. [2] The mill was refitted by William Cooper, [3] the Henfield millwright in 1865. It was working until 1922, when it was stripped of machinery and house converted. The millstones went to a watermill at Coolham. [2]
