Full Description
Large post mill with two storey roundhouse, built by Nunn's in the early 1840s. It ceased work in 1934 and was demolished in July 1963. The foundations can still be seen, as can part of a stock used to carry the village sign. The post was used for restoring pews in Blythburgh church and a bench has been made from large sections of the post containing dates and names. There were four patent sails, two pairs of stones in the head and a fantail (S1). Grid reference after (S4).
