Caistor windmill recorded
The mill is recorded as a tower windmill at Caistor.
Site overview
Wright's Mill at Caistor was a tower mill recorded in Lincolnshire windmill sources. The county windmill list identifies it as an early nineteenth-century tower mill, while specialist sources preserve the Caistor windmill entry and its association with the Wright name. The site formed part of Caistor's wind-powered corn-milling landscape, serving the agricultural market town and surrounding Wolds-edge countryside.
The known record establishes its name, type, approximate construction period, and documented place in the county's windmill tradition. Its present value lies in preserving the identity of a former tower mill within Caistor's historic milling landscape.

History
Wright's Mill was a tower windmill at Caistor. The mill is recorded in Lincolnshire windmill listings as an early nineteenth-century tower mill, and specialist windmill records preserve the Caistor windmill site.
Caistor stood within a productive agricultural landscape on the western edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Tower mills such as Wright's Mill provided local corn-milling capacity for market towns and surrounding farming settlements. The surviving record gives a compact account of the site, but it establishes the mill's identity, type, and approximate date.
The mill is best understood as a documented former tower-mill site rather than a fully restored or richly recorded survival. Its significance rests in the named record of Wright's Mill and in its contribution to the pattern of early nineteenth-century wind-powered milling around Caistor.
