Rockland St Peter Tower Mill Rockland St Peter · Norfolk · England

Rockland St Peter tower mill stood at Old Mill Farm beside the mill house on Scoulton Road, just north of the former Wayland Union Workhouse and about one and a half miles north of Rockland St Peter village. Norfolk Mills records that the tower mill was built in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Windmill World identifies the site as Rockland St Peter tower mill and records its function as a corn mill, with a related Mills Archive entry for Tower mill, Rockland St Peter.

The known working history is limited in the consulted sources. Norfolk Mills records that by 1875 the mill complex included a bakery and a butchery, showing that the windmill formed part of a wider rural commercial site rather than an isolated tower. The detailed sail arrangement, cap form, number of stones, miller succession and final working date were not identified in the consulted source excerpts.

The post-working survival is clearer. A photographic archive record describes a tower mill in Scoulton near Rockland St Peter, photographed on 20 June 1936 without sails. Norfolk Mills records that by 1970 only two derelict storeys of the mill tower remained. The present record therefore rests on the identified Old Mill Farm site, its corn-milling function, associated nineteenth-century commercial complex and the survival of a reduced derelict tower.
