Killick's Mill Meopham Green · Kent · England

Killick's Mill stands at Meopham Green and is also known as Meopham Windmill. It was built by the Killick brothers from Strood, with some sources giving 1801 and the Meopham Windmill history giving 1819. The mill is especially notable for its hexagonal plan, an unusual form among Kent smock mills, which are more commonly octagonal.

The mill is a three-storey smock on a brick base, with a stage at second-floor level. It has four double patent sails carried on a cast-iron windshaft, with fantail winding. Its machinery included a wooden brake wheel, cast-iron wallower and great spur wheel, and overdrift millstones. The mill originally had two pairs of stones, with a third and then fourth pair added later. One pair of stones and the auxiliary oil engine came from Richardson's Mill at Boughton under Blean. The mill also generated electricity for internal lighting at one stage.

The Killick family ran the mill until 1889, when it was sold to the Norton family. Wind working ended in 1929, but the mill continued with oil-engine and electric-motor power until 1965. Kent County Council acquired the mill in 1960, and restoration by E. Hole and Sons of Burgess Hill followed. Later conservation work has included repair of the reefing stage and specialist timber repairs. Killick's Mill remains a restored Grade II* listed smock mill and a distinctive landmark on Meopham Green.
