Tower mill recorded
The site is recorded as a tower windmill at Chollerton.
Site overview
Chollerton Windmill stands at Chollerton in Northumberland. It is recorded in the county windmill inventory as a surviving tower mill at the supplied coordinates, distinct from Acomb windmill near Hexham. The accessible record identifies the site as a windmill tower and links it to archive material, but provides only limited detail on its construction date, original machinery, operating ownership, working function, closure or later conversion.
The site is therefore best treated as a surviving former tower windmill with a thin published record. Its principal evidenced character is the survival of the tower-mill structure at Chollerton rather than a detailed documented milling chronology.

History
Chollerton Windmill is recorded as a surviving tower mill at Chollerton in Northumberland. The supplied coordinates match the Chollerton entry in the county windmill inventory rather than Acomb. The site is listed among surviving Northumberland windmills and is linked to a Mills Archive record, confirming its identity as a tower mill.
The accessible sources do not provide a secure construction date, millwright, sail or cap arrangement, stone or gear inventory, named millers, final working date or later adaptation sequence. The documentary account must therefore remain cautious and limited to positively recorded facts. Chollerton preserves a tower-windmill site in the rural Northumberland landscape, but the researched record does not support a fuller chronology of development, operation or closure.
