Blundeston Windmill Blundeston · Suffolk · England

Blundeston Mill was built around 1820 by Robert Martin, the Beccles millwright, as a wind-powered corn mill. It was a four-storey tower mill equipped with four patent sails, a boat-shaped cap, and a fantail for winding the cap into the wind. Its machinery drove two pairs of millstones.

The mill formed part of the working milling landscape of Blundeston during the nineteenth century and continued in use into the early twentieth century. It worked until 1923. In 1933 the mill was dismantled and converted to a house.

The conversion removed the working windmill equipment, and no machinery remains. The surviving tower has a conical roof and is now in residential use as Mill House. The structure is therefore preserved as a converted tower rather than as an operating or fully equipped mill.
