Subscription mill
Built soon after 1800 by local subscribers, who raised money by buying shares in the company. This employed a miller to live in the house and serve the village by grinding locally grown grain. A bakehouse was added for later. By the end of the C19th it had lost its sails and fallen out of use.
In 2008 the Ullesthorpe Windmill Project was started by local people to restore the mill. Fortunately much of the wooden machinery inside remains.
