Eccleriggs Mill Broughton-in-Furness · Cumbria · England

Eccleriggs Mill stood near Eccle Riggs above Broughton in Furness. It was a tower corn mill, and its working role was the grinding of oats. The surviving structure is described as the stump of the tower, a small and early-looking remnant that remains visible in the landscape around Eccle Riggs.

The mill appears on Yates' map of 1786, placing it in operation by the later eighteenth century. Its equipment was modest, with two or more probably one pair of stones. The mill was still in use in the 1840s, showing a continued working life into the nineteenth century. By 1890 it had become disused.

Later accounts and photographic references identify the site as a surviving tower stump rather than a complete mill. In 1994 the remains were described as ivy-covered. The site is one of the recorded Furness windmills around Broughton in Furness, where exposed upland and coastal-edge settings offered opportunities for wind-powered corn milling. Eccleriggs Mill survives as a reduced but legible remnant of that local milling landscape.
