Overview

History & significance

Tower mill 75m west of Windmill Farm is a post-medieval industrial monument located in Cornwall. The structure represents the remains of a tower mill, a type of wind-powered grain milling installation typical of the 17th to 19th centuries. Tower mills of this form were built with a rotating cap containing the sails and machinery, allowing the mill to be turned to face the wind whilst the main cylindrical or polygonal stone tower remained stationary. The site's survival as a recorded monument attests to the historical importance of wind-powered milling in the local agricultural economy of this period.
