Site overview
Stenwith Mill at Woolsthorpe is a former tower corn mill. Specialist mill sources identify the site as Stenwith Mill and record it as a tower mill used for corn milling. Later photographic records show the former mill as Mill House at Stenwith, indicating survival of the tower within domestic use.

History
Stenwith Mill stands at Woolsthorpe and is recorded in specialist mill sources as a tower corn mill. The surviving evidence is strongest for the mill's later adapted condition. The former windmill is represented by Mill House at Stenwith, where the historic tower structure survives within domestic use.
The cap, sails, and original working arrangement are no longer evident in the later photographic record, but the site preserves the position and reduced form of a former wind-powered corn mill within the Stenwith locality.
