History

Stamp's Mill was a tower corn mill at Faldingworth. It formed part of the nineteenth-century milling landscape of central Lincolnshire, where tower mills served agricultural villages and market routes.

The mill is recorded in specialist windmill sources under the name Stamp's Mill and identified as a tower mill used for corn milling. The Lincolnshire windmill list gives a date of about 1822, placing it in the main period of tower-mill construction across the county. Historic photographs preserve its appearance both as a working or near-working windmill and later as a reduced structure.

The surviving fabric is associated with High Street, Faldingworth, and is recorded through listed-building and photographic material. The mill no longer presents as a complete working windmill with sails, cap, and full machinery, but the retained tower fabric preserves the identity of a named local corn mill. Stamp's Mill remains part of the documented wind-powered milling history of Faldingworth and the surrounding agricultural district.
