Cley Windmill

Cley windmill was built in the early 19th century.

Cley windmill is a five storey tower mill with a stage at second floor level, There are four double Patent sails with a span of 70 ft.

In 1819 the sails powered two pairs of French burr millstones, a flour mill and jumper but by 1876 this had been increased to 3 pairs of stones and a smut machine had been added.
