Rattlesden Mill Rattlesden · Suffolk · England

Rattlesden tower mill, or Hitchcock's Tower Mill, was built in the mid nineteenth century by John Whitmore. It was a five-storey tower mill used for corn milling. The working mill had four patent sails, an ogee cap, and a fantail, with machinery arranged to drive two pairs of millstones.

It ceased work in 1935 and was subsequently dismantled. Later records describe the tower as standing with the cap and about four feet of brickwork missing. Although no longer complete, the survival is more than a bare shell: one pair of stones remains, and most of the gearing also survives.

Photographs from the twentieth century record the mill before and after its decline, including views with its cap and sail details, and later views of the capless tower. The site remains a conserved but disused former tower corn mill.
