Sea Palling tower mill recorded
The site is recorded as a five-storey tarred red-brick tower mill near Stalham Road.
Site overview
Sea Palling towermill was a five-storey tarred red-brick corn mill standing just north of the Stalham Road, a few feet inside the parish boundary beside Mill House and small brick barns, about a mile west of Sea Palling village. Norfolk Mills records that the tower's batter eased off for the top two storeys and that differing brickwork showed those upper levels were a later modification. Windmill World identifies the coordinate-specific entry as Sea Palling tower mill.
The consulted source establishes the mill's location, five-storey form and altered brickwork, but no detailed construction date, machinery specification, operator sequence, final working date or surviving structural condition was identified. The record is therefore limited to the evidenced tower-mill identification and physical description.

History
Sea Palling towermill stood just north of the Stalham Road, a few feet inside the parish boundary beside Mill House, with small brick barns and outbuildings nearby. Norfolk Mills records the site as about a mile west of Sea Palling village. Windmill World identifies the coordinate-specific site as Sea Palling tower mill.
The mill was a five-storey tarred red-brick tower mill. Norfolk Mills records that the tower's batter eased off for the top two storeys and that the differing brickwork indicated that those upper storeys were a later modification. This gives a limited but useful structural history: the tower was altered after its original construction by the addition or rebuilding of upper levels.
The consulted source excerpt does not identify the builder, construction date, cap form, sail type, number of stones, miller chronology, auxiliary power, closure date or later conversion history. The available record therefore supports a concise account rather than a full working biography. The site is best represented as a documented Sea Palling corn tower-mill site, with a five-storey tarred red-brick tower altered in its upper levels and associated with Mill House and nearby brick outbuildings.
