Saxtead Green Post Mill

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

An historic post mill built in 1860 on the site of a mill that existed here as early as 1309. A mill house was added beside the mill building around 1810. The mill continued grinding corn until the First World War, when it was converted to grind grain for animal feed. It ceased operation in 1947 and was restored a decade later.

Saxtead Green mill is a four sailed post mill, which means that the lower body of the mill revoled around a central post, or pole. The mill body is about 46 feet in height, and the sails span 54 feet. There are three floors inside the roundhouse, and visitors can see the internal workings of the milling machinery.
