Tower corn mill recorded
Fulstow Mill is recorded as a tower mill used for corn milling.
Site overview
Fulstow Mill is a former tower corn mill at Fulstow in Lincolnshire. Specialist windmill records identify it as a tower mill used for corn milling, and photographic records show the mill in its later disused state. Historic England archive material includes an October 1942 image of Fulstow Windmill with bags of grain outside the mill door, preserving the site's working or recently working appearance during the mid twentieth century.
The present survival is a disused former windmill rather than a complete working mill, but the tower remains a visible element of Fulstow's wind-powered milling history.

History
Fulstow Mill was a tower corn mill serving the village of Fulstow. It formed part of the network of Lincolnshire tower mills that worked across the agricultural villages of the coastal plain and the eastern Wolds fringe.
The mill is recorded in specialist windmill catalogues as a tower mill with a corn-milling function. Historic photographic material preserves several phases of its appearance. An October 1942 image records Fulstow Windmill with bags of grain outside the mill door, while later photographs show the mill disused. These records place the mill within the twentieth-century transition from working windmill to surviving historic structure.
The present site is a former windmill survival rather than a restored working mill. Its value lies in the retained tower form and the photographic continuity between its working life and later disuse. Fulstow Mill remains a recognisable survival of the village's wind-powered corn-milling past.
