History
Hammond's Mill stood at Billingshurst as a smock mill. It formed part of the village's wind-powered corn-milling history and later survived as a ruined windmill site near the historic village centre. Local planning material identifies the ruined windmill and nearby footpath links around the A272 and village centre.
The detailed construction date, working machinery, ownership history, and final working date have not been established here. The site remains associated with surviving windmill fabric rather than a complete working mill.
