History
Kitty Mill stood at Wenhaston as a post mill with a roundhouse. The mill was first mapped in 1837 and worked as a wind-powered mill within the village landscape south of the River Blyth. The post mill body survived into the twentieth century but was eventually demolished in the 1960s.
The roundhouse remained after the loss of the mill body and is the principal surviving element of the site. The site now represents a former working post mill through its surviving base rather than through a complete mill structure.
