Terrington St Clement Balsam Fields Tower Mill Walpole St Peter · Norfolk · England

Balsam Fields Mill stood at Terrington St Clement near the old railway station and was also known as Walker's Mill. It was built before 1841 by the King's Lynn millwrights Eastwicks and became one of only six known Norfolk windmills to carry six sails. The mill was a seven-storey brick tower about 70 feet high.

It had a vertically boarded ogee cap with a gallery, petticoat and ball finial, and the cap was winded by an eight-bladed fan. The six single-shuttered patent sails had a span of about 74 feet and powered an unusually large milling arrangement. The mill drove two pairs of French burr stones, one pair of Peak stones and another pair combining a French burr runner with a Peak bedstone, together with a boulter for flour dressing.

All the stones were overdriven, and a stage was set around the fourth floor. By 1846 the concern had been expanded with an attached three-storey steam mill. Its 10 h.p. engine drove two additional pairs of stones, giving the site both wind and steam power.

The mill was associated in the mid nineteenth century with the Wright family, and advertisements described it as a substantial six-sail corn mill with granaries, stables, cart sheds, residence and farmland close to Terrington station. Damage was recorded after the gale of 24 March 1895, when the fan and sails suffered. The mill ceased working in 1903.

In February 1908 it was reported to be in the course of demolition, with its disappearance marking the loss of one of the Fen country's tallest local landmarks. Three floors of the brick tower were later recorded as still remaining.
