Berney Arms is a seven-storey cylindrical brick tower mill located in the Halvergate Marshes near Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, dating to 1865. The mill was constructed during the nineteenth-century expansion of marshland drainage and grain milling in East Anglia, and represents a significant example of Victorian industrial architecture adapted to the Norfolk landscape. Its distinctive design, with a tall circular tower and associated drainage infrastructure, demonstrates the engineering innovations required to operate such structures in the waterlogged fenland environment. The mill has been in the care of the National Trust since 1929 and is recognised as a scheduled ancient monument, preserving an important example of nineteenth-century agricultural technology.
