Composite mill recorded at Thornham
The site was listed as Thornham Composite Mill with the supplied coordinates.
Site overview
The supplied coordinates identify the site as Thornham Composite Mill. The available evidence for this entry is limited to its identification and mapped position in a county windmill list. The mill is recorded as a composite mill rather than a standard tower mill, and it stands within the Norfolk windmill record for the Thornham area.
No detailed construction date, working machinery, ownership sequence, closure date, or later reuse has been identified from the searched sources. The site should therefore be described cautiously as surviving mill remains at Thornham, with the present record focused on confirmed identity and location rather than a reconstructed operating history.

History
Thornham Composite Mill is identified at the supplied coordinates in a Norfolk windmill listing. The classification as a composite mill distinguishes it from a simple brick tower mill, although the available source material located for this run does not provide the construction sequence, machinery details, ownership history, or closure chronology. The record confirms the site identity and place-name correction from Hunstanton to Thornham.
No evidenced date has been found for construction, cessation of working, alteration, or post-closure reuse. The present documentary record is therefore confined to the confirmed site name, locality, and survival as a recorded windmill remain.
