Tower mill site recorded
The site is recorded as a former tower windmill location at Buxton in Norfolk.
Site overview
The Buxton site is recorded as a tower windmill location in Norfolk windmill records. The available web evidence found for this exact site is limited, but the coordinates place it at Buxton in the Bure valley rather than at the Derbyshire spa town of the same name. The identified material confirms the windmill classification and locality but does not provide a secure construction date, machinery inventory, ownership sequence, working chronology, final closure date, or later conversion history.
The site should therefore be recorded cautiously as the former position of a Buxton tower mill, without adding unevidenced detail on survival, access, or present condition.

History
Buxton tower mill is identified as a Norfolk tower windmill site at Buxton near the River Bure. The available evidence located for this run confirms the site type and locality, but the detailed history of the mill remains thin. No reliable construction date, named millwright, sale notice, sail arrangement, stone inventory, auxiliary engine history, final working date, or demolition sequence has been identified from the searched material.
The record should therefore avoid treating the site as a restored or substantially surviving mill unless later source material confirms that status. For the present entry, the evidenced account is limited to the confirmed existence of a tower windmill site at Buxton and its place within Norfolk's wider corn-windmill record.
