History
Follifoot Windmill was a tower mill used for corn milling at Follifoot. The mill formed part of the village's wind-powered milling landscape before it ceased working.
The former mill later survived as a tower structure and was converted into a dwelling. Details of the original cap, sails, windshaft, millstones and final working date remain uncertain. The building now survives as a residential conversion of the former Follifoot tower corn mill.
