Brograve Mill, near Horsey Mere, Norfolk Broads
Brograve Mill is a windpump located on Brograve level in the parish of Sea Palling within the Norfolk Broads National Park. It is approximately 1 mile north of Horsey Mere. The mill is a grade II listed building.
The mill is of red brick construction and today lies in an extremely derelict and unsafe state. It is thought to have last worked around 1930 and was built in 1771 by Sir Berney Brograve, 1st Baronet (1726-1797). The mill had an 8 bladed fantail with a boat shaped cap carrying two pairs of patent shuttered sails powering an internal turbine pump. Its purpose was to drain the Brograve levels into the man made Waxham New Cut and is one of two mills on this water course, the other being Lambridge Mill (also derelict), located about 2 miles west of Sea Palling.
