Derelict for many years, it had a lot of work done to it about 2004.
The tower brickwork was repaired, with new doors and windows installed. A new cap was fitted which is much the same
shape as the original - the two derelict sails were retained, but there is no provision for replacing the fantail assembly.
Unclear what happened to the internal machinery.
The mill is now in the grounds of a house, which appears to be newly built in a traditional style around the time of the repair works.
