#1821 - Post mill, Bledlow Ridge
The mill was in existence by 1798. It was of open-trestle design, with 3 crosstrees and 6 quarterbars, and had 4 common sails. Detailed measurements are given in Smith (1932, p. 130). It ceased work in 1913 and was used as a water tower. By the 1930s it was in bad condition with only 1 sail remaining. It was pulled down in 1933.
