Tower corn mill recorded
Fletcher's Mill was recorded at Whittlesey as a tower mill used for corn milling.
Site overview
Fletcher's Mill at Whittlesey was a tower mill used for corn milling. It is recorded by specialist mill sources at the Whittlesey site and is linked with photographic archive material under the name Fletcher's Mill. The mill no longer survives as a standing windmill, with the site recorded as having disappeared before 2003.
The record therefore preserves the identity and function of a former Whittlesey tower corn mill rather than a surviving structure.

History
Fletcher's Mill was a tower corn mill at Whittlesey. The name is attached to the mill in archive material, and the site is recorded at the Whittlesey location shown by specialist windmill mapping. Its principal documented function was corn milling, carried out in a tower mill rather than a post or smock mill.
The later history is represented by loss rather than restoration or conversion. By the early twenty-first century the mill had disappeared, leaving the site as a former windmill location. The strongest surviving record for the site is the combination of its name, type, milling function, and photographic archive reference.
