History
Buttrums Mill at Woodbridge is a tower corn mill. It survives as a preserved windmill with cap, sails, and machinery. The mill retains its external working form and remains a prominent surviving windmill structure in Woodbridge.
Its survival differs from many reduced Suffolk windmill sites because the tower, cap, sails, and internal working character are still legible. The surviving mill represents the former wind-powered corn-milling function of the site.
