Tower converted to house
The former Codsall tower mill is recorded as house converted.
Site overview
Codsall Windmill is a surviving tower mill at Codsall in Staffordshire. It is recorded as a corn mill and as a house-converted tower mill. The available sources identify the mill as a surviving tower structure, but detailed construction, ownership, machinery, and closure evidence is limited.
The mill appears in county windmill listings as a tower mill and is recorded in specialist windmill records as house converted. No secure date of construction, final working date, or detailed conversion sequence has been identified in the consulted material. Its present character is therefore best described as a former windmill tower incorporated into domestic use rather than as an operational or publicly accessible mill.

History
Codsall Windmill is recorded as a tower mill in Staffordshire. Specialist windmill records identify it as a corn mill and describe its present condition as house converted. The county windmill list records Codsall Windmill as a tower mill and links it to modern windmill records, but does not provide a full operational narrative.
The consulted material does not identify a secure construction date, miller sequence, ownership history, machinery specification, or date when wind-powered work ceased. The available record is strongest for survival and present condition: the mill remains as a converted tower rather than as a working mill with sails and machinery. The site therefore represents the post-operational reuse of a former Staffordshire tower mill.
