History
Rundle's Mill was a tower corn mill at Carrington. The mill is recorded in specialist windmill sources under the Rundle name and is one of two Carrington tower mills preserved in county records.
The mill served a rural fenland parish where wind-powered corn mills were important elements of the agricultural landscape. Its tower-mill form gave a durable brick structure capable of supporting cap, sails, and internal machinery for grinding corn. The surviving record does not provide a full working chronology, but it clearly establishes the site as a named tower corn mill.
Later photographs record Rundle's Mill and its associated works after the end of the mill's active wind-powered appearance. The site remains important as part of Carrington's windmill group, together with Watkinson's Mill near Watkinson's Bridge. Rundle's Mill preserves the identity of a former rural tower mill within the Lincolnshire fen-edge landscape.
