Full Description
`Minsmere Level. Small smock mill built in the mid C19. It worked until 1940 and was blown down on February 19th 1977. The remains were rescued by members of Suffolk Mills Group and taken into storage. At the time of writing, the mill is being rebuilt by Jameson Marshall Ltd for the Museum of East Anglian Life at Stowmarket, where it will stand near the re-erected Alton Watermill on the museum site (GR 045 580). There were four patent sails, a boat shaped cap with fantail and a triple plunger pump with unusual square cylinders' (S1). First mapped in 1903 (S2).
