Site overview
Shaw's Mill is a Grade II listed tower windmill on Boston Road at Bar Green, Stickford. Built in 1820, it is a red-brick tower corn mill with moulded brick eaves and the remains of its cap frame. The listed structure is three storeys high and retains plank doors and segmental-arched openings.
The listing records sails lying on the adjacent ground and complete internal machinery, with an inscription said to read “R. Kyme 1820”. Milling ceased at the site in the 1950s. The tower remains an important survival of a Lincolnshire village corn mill, combining dated fabric, surviving machinery, and formal listed protection.

History
Shaw's Mill stands on the west side of Boston Road at Bar Green, Stickford. It was built in 1820 as a red-brick tower corn mill. The tower has moulded brick eaves, a band to the top floor broken by openings, and the remains of the cap frame.
The three-storey structure includes segmental-arched doorways with plank doors and surviving window openings. An inscription is recorded as “R. Kyme 1820”, tying the fabric to its construction date. The listed description records complete internal machinery and sails lying on the adjacent ground, making the survival more substantial than that of many reduced tower mills.
The mill remained in use until the 1950s. It was listed at Grade II on 25 January 1974. The surviving tower and machinery preserve the visible and technical remains of a nineteenth-century Lincolnshire tower corn mill at the edge of the Stickford settlement.
