Corn milling function recorded
Grange Mill at Hazleton is recorded as a tower mill used for corn milling.
Site overview
Grange Mill is a former tower corn mill at Hazleton. Specialist mill records identify it as a tower mill used for corn milling, and the Mills Archive photographic record describes the survival as a house-converted stump with a conical roof and observation platform. The mill stands in the Cotswold landscape near the hilltop village of Hazleton.
Modern photographic records identify the building as a rare windmill survival in the Cotswolds. The available record is strongest for the site identity, tower-mill type, corn-milling function, and surviving converted stump.

History
Grange Mill is a former tower corn mill at Hazleton. It is recorded in specialist mill sources as a wind-powered corn mill and is one of the surviving Gloucestershire tower-mill sites.
The present survival is a converted stump rather than a complete working tower. Mills Archive photographic material describes the building as the house-converted stump of Grange Mill, with a conical roof and an observation platform. Photographic references to Hazleton identify the windmill as a rare survival in the Cotswold landscape.
The mill's working fabric has been reduced and adapted, with cap, sails, and milling machinery no longer forming the visible character of the site. The surviving converted tower stump nevertheless preserves the position and lower fabric of a former Cotswold tower corn mill.
