Description

The largest remaining post mill in Essex. The 18th-century mill has been held on a long lease by Essex County Council since 1940. It has four patent sails, a fantail on the steps and two pairs of millstones. It is in full working order, but has only a half-set of shutters.

Grinding is carried out occasionally. The mill is open to the public on the last Sunday of the month, May to September 2pm-5pm. Visits at other times may be arranged for interested groups.
