1830
Tower mill built
Rodington Windmill is recorded as having been built around 1830.
Site overview
Rodington Windmill is a recorded tower corn mill at Rodington. The supplied coordinates match the specialist mill record for Rodington rather than Wellington. The mill is identified as a wind-powered tower mill used for corn milling, with its recorded position at National Grid Reference SJ 590 144.
The list of Shropshire windmills gives an approximate building date of about 1830, last mention in 1904, and truncation by 1936. The accessible evidence does not provide a detailed architectural description, machinery inventory, ownership sequence, or statutory listing record. The positive evidence establishes the mill type, function, approximate nineteenth-century construction, early twentieth-century documentary survival, and later truncation.

History
Rodington Windmill is recorded at Rodington, where the supplied coordinates match the specialist mill location. It was a wind-powered tower corn mill. The site is listed in specialist mill records at National Grid Reference SJ 590 144 and latitude and longitude 52.72629383, -2.60851881.
The wider Shropshire windmill list records the mill as having been built around 1830. It was last mentioned in 1904 and had been truncated by 1936. Those details indicate that the working or near-complete mill had ended before the mid twentieth century, although the consulted sources do not provide a precise final working date.
No detailed evidence has been identified for the mill's builder, owners, millers, cap, sails, internal machinery, or any later reuse. No statutory listing record has been identified in the consulted sources. The site is therefore documented as a former Rodington tower corn mill whose remains were recorded in truncated form.
