1780–1999
Windmill recorded in historic environment records
The site is recorded as a windmill of Georgian to late twentieth-century date.
Site overview
Stokes' Mill is a surviving tower corn mill at East Bridgford. Specialist windmill records locate the mill at the supplied coordinates and identify it as Stokes' Mill, distinct from Kneeton Hills Mill to the north-east. The mill is recorded as a tower mill used for corn milling, with nineteenth- and twenty-first-century photographic records showing the tower standing with associated farm buildings.
The Nottinghamshire Historic Environment Record identifies the site as a windmill of Georgian to late twentieth-century date. The available sources do not provide a precise construction date, final working date, listing status, or detailed machinery inventory for this particular East Bridgford mill. The positive evidence establishes the site identity, function, tower-mill type, and survival of the structure, but the operational chronology remains thin.

History
Stokes' Mill stands at East Bridgford and is recorded at the supplied coordinates, National Grid Reference SK 691 430. The coordinate-verified location is East Bridgford rather than Bingham. Specialist windmill records identify the site as Stokes' Mill and distinguish it from the separate Kneeton Hills Mill on Kneeton Road.
The mill is recorded as a tower mill with a corn-milling function. The Nottinghamshire Historic Environment Record classifies the site as a windmill of Georgian to late twentieth-century date, while photographic records from 2009 show the old windmill tower and nearby barn or farm buildings. The consulted sources do not identify the builder, owner, exact construction date, number of sails, cap form, machinery arrangement, or confirmed final working date.
They also do not show a statutory listing for this particular tower in the records consulted. The surviving evidence therefore supports a cautious account: Stokes' Mill was a corn windmill at East Bridgford, its tower survived into the modern period, and its detailed operational history has not been recovered from the available sources.
