Cattell's Mill Willingham · Cambridgeshire · England

Cattell's Mill stands on Mill Road at Willingham and is one of the county's most complete surviving smock mills. It was built in 1828, with the name William Huckle and the date carved above the doorway at the ground stage. The structure is timber-framed and horizontally weatherboarded, with a tarred octagonal brick ground stage and four stages beneath an ogee cap with ball finial.

The mill was built for corn milling and retains an unusually full set of internal millwrighting. The listed description records complete machinery, including a timber brake wheel, belt-driven elevators, an oat crusher, grain cleaner, and three pairs of stones. Later technical records also show the sack hoist and engine-drive arrangements, demonstrating the survival of both wind-driven and auxiliary working equipment.

Twentieth-century photographs show the mill in working order with four sails, later with two sails, and by the early 1970s in derelict condition with two sails still present. Photographic records from 1973 recorded internal machinery including the brake wheel and wallower. Small machines and a set of stones salvaged from French's Mill at Chesterton were also installed at Cattell's Mill.

The mill was listed at Grade II* in 1962. Later restoration work, including cap and fantail work in the late twentieth century and further sail repairs in the twenty-first century, preserved the mill as a landmark on Mill Road. Cattell's Mill now survives as a rare and substantially equipped smock mill, retaining visible sails, cap, fantail, gallery, and important internal machinery.
