Stevens' Mill Burwell · Cambridgeshire · England

Stevens' Mill is a tower corn mill at Burwell and is the village's only surviving windmill. It was built around 1820 for Oliver Carter and served local farmers and villagers as a flour mill for about a century. The mill is built of tarred brick and clunch, with four storeys, a cap, fantail, and four patent shuttered sails.

The mill suffered serious gale damage in 1862, an event reported in the Cambridge Independent Press. Later photographs show the mill with Mr Heeks the miller at the upper door and record its working appearance around 1890. The mill was rebuilt around 1897. During the First World War flour production ceased, but the mill continued to grind cereals and pulses for animal feed. It remained in working use until around 1955.

The listed structure is an important technical survival. Its machinery includes three pairs of under-driven stones, a sack hoist, grain-cleaning machine, and dressing machine. Earlier listing descriptions recorded the clunch tower, plastered and tarred finish, domed cap, surviving sailstock, fantail shafts, gearing, contemporary wooden and iron machinery, and three pairs of stones.

Stevens' Mill was listed at Grade II* in 1951. After a period of disuse and repair need, it underwent major restoration as part of a Heritage Lottery Fund-supported project. The sails were refitted in 2014, returning the mill to a substantially complete external form. It now forms the centrepiece of Burwell Museum and Windmill.
