Elston Windmill Elston · Nottinghamshire · England

Elston Windmill stands on Mill Road at Elston and matches the supplied coordinates and National Grid Reference SK 76063 47687. The coordinate evidence places the site in Elston rather than Newark-on-Trent. The mill was built in the mid nineteenth century as a tower windmill.

Specialist records identify it as a corn mill, while the statutory description records the surviving building as a former tower windmill now used as a house. The structure is a five-storey circular red-brick tower, painted at the time of the listing description. The ground floor has a large fixed light replacing a doorway, a single window, and a doorway with a glazing-bar door.

The first floor has a doorway with a glazing-bar door, a fixed light, and a window. The second and third floors each have three windows, while the fourth floor has four windows. A stair window is recorded on the north side.

The openings have segmental arches and twentieth-century lead drip moulds. Twentieth-century extensions attached to the west are excluded from special interest. The building was first listed as Grade II on 13 March 1986.
