Entry in Mills Archive database - #1238 - Gibbet Mill, Great Saughall (has photos)
Built in the 18th century, and known as Gibbet Mill due to a murder which took place here, after which the bodies of the murderers were said to have been hung on a tree nearby. Around 1900 it became probably the only mill in the Wirrall to have a fantail installed. It ceased work in 1926 and fell into disrepair. In the 1970s it was converted into a house, and given a pair of replica sails constructed by millwright Derek Ogden.
