History
Worlingworth New Mill was the later of the two post mills on Mill Road. It was brought from Hasketon in the nineteenth century and assembled at Worlingworth, close to the older post mill roundhouse. The New Mill had become derelict by the mid twentieth century and was demolished around 1950.
Surviving elements at the site were reduced to the roundhouse foundations, which later formed a garden feature. That foundation feature appears to have been removed around 2010, leaving the New Mill site with no confirmed surviving roundhouse structure.
