Hemingby Mill Hemingby · Lincolnshire · England

Hemingby Mill was a tower corn mill serving the village of Hemingby, a rural settlement north of Horncastle. The mill is recorded in county windmill sources as a tower mill built in 1824 and in specialist mill records as a corn mill.

The site formed part of the nineteenth-century milling landscape of central Lincolnshire, where brick tower mills replaced or supplemented earlier post mills and provided local grinding capacity for farming communities. Hemingby also had another tower mill recorded in the county list, showing that the parish had more than one wind-powered milling site during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The recorded 1824 tower mill was burnt down in 1937. Later photographic references preserve the tower stump in 1977, showing that some masonry fabric remained after the loss of the working windmill. The site is therefore best understood as a former tower corn mill represented by recorded remains rather than a complete working or restored windmill. Its significance lies in the survival of the documented mill identity and in its place within Hemingby's agricultural and wind-powered milling history.
