Corn and coal mill recorded
Werrington Mill is recorded as a tower mill with corn-milling and coal-milling functions.
Site overview
Werrington Mill is a surviving tower mill at Werrington, Caverswall, Staffordshire. It is recorded as a tower mill used for corn milling and also associated with coal milling. The surviving structure is no longer a working windmill and is recorded as housing radio communications.
The available sources identify the mill by location and function but provide limited detail on its construction date, machinery, operating period, or closure. Historic photographic material records the site as a tower mill, and modern windmill records describe its current communications use. No detailed sequence of conversion, removal of sails, or internal alteration has been established from the available material.

History
Werrington Mill is recorded as a tower mill at Werrington, Caverswall, Staffordshire. The mill is identified in specialist windmill records as having served corn-milling and coal-milling functions. The standing structure survives, but no longer operates as a wind-powered mill.
It is recorded in modern windmill gazetteer material as now housing radio communications, showing a later non-milling use for the tower. The consulted sources do not provide a secure construction date, owner sequence, miller names, machinery inventory, date of cessation, or detailed conversion history. Photographic and archive records identify the site as Werrington Mill, Caverswall, and confirm its survival as a tower mill structure.
The present account is therefore limited to the evidenced identification, former function, survival, and later communications use.
