Toft's Mill

Site overview

Toft's Mill at Wrangle is a former tower corn mill on Mill Lane. Specialist mill sources identify it as a four-storey tower mill and record its later conversion into holiday accommodation. Photographic records from the early twenty-first century show the adapted tower surviving as Toft Mill, with the former windmill fabric retained within reuse.

The site preserves a recognisable tower-mill form after the loss of its original working function.

History

Toft's Mill stands on Mill Lane in Wrangle. It is recorded in specialist mill sources as a four-storey tower corn mill. The windmill's later history is represented by conversion rather than continued mechanical working: the tower has been adapted into holiday accommodation while retaining the former mill as the core of the building.

Photographs from 2001, 2005, 2006, and 2012 record the surviving tower in its post-milling form. The cap, sails, and original machinery are not part of the later visible working arrangement, but the tower preserves the form and location of a former wind-powered corn mill within Wrangle.
