History
Brickyard Farm Windpump at Easingwold was a small wind-powered drainage tower. It was associated with Crankley brick and tile works and appears as a windpump on the 1912–1913 Ordnance Survey map. The structure was therefore connected with industrial drainage or water-management at the brick and tile works rather than cereal milling.
Its construction date, detailed machinery and later survival history remain uncertain.
