Smock mill worked
Bolney had a smock corn mill.
Site overview
Bolney smock mill was a wind-powered corn mill in West Sussex. The standing mill structure has gone, but millstones survive at Bolney and are set into the path near the church lych gate. The site is therefore represented by reused millstones rather than by a surviving smock tower, cap, sails, or machinery.

History
Bolney smock mill stood as a wind-powered corn mill. The mill structure has not survived as a standing smock tower. Its visible survival is through millstones set into the path by the church lych gate.
No complete mill body, cap, sails, windshaft, or internal machinery has been confirmed at the site. The site therefore survives as a former mill location marked by former working stones rather than by an extant windmill structure.
