Goldfield Mill Tring · Hertfordshire · England

Goldfield Mill is Tring's surviving tower windmill. It is also known as Grover's Mill, reflecting its association with the Grover family during much of its working life. The mill was first mentioned in Pigot's Directory in 1839, when James Grover was miller, while the listed building record dates its construction to 1840 and connects its building with Mr Grover and the Mead family at New Mill.

The mill was a four-storey red-brick tower corn mill. It had a pepperpot cap winded by fantail and carried four double patent sails. The working machinery included an upright shaft and a cast-iron great spur wheel, both of which survived after the end of milling. The mill remained in the Grover family until 1880. Thomas Liddington was associated with the mill in the 1880s, and White and Putnam followed in the later nineteenth century. James Wright worked the mill from 1895 until 1908, when he left to take the tenancy of Pitstone Windmill.

Auxiliary power was added in 1898, when a 6hp steam engine was installed. Wind working ended in 1908 and the sails were removed. The engine then worked a pair of stones and an oat crusher, and the mill continued under auxiliary power into the 1920s. After the end of milling, the tower survived and was converted to residential accommodation in 1973. Goldfield Mill remains a Grade II listed converted tower mill, preserving the form of Tring's last standing windmill.
