History

Langtoft Tower Mill was built in 1860 as a wind-powered tower corn mill at Langtoft. The mill later passed out of use and lost its working cap, sails and upper structure. By the late twentieth or early twenty-first century the remaining stump of the tower had been converted for residential use.

The surviving converted stump preserves the position and lower fabric of the former nineteenth-century mill.
