Signboard says:

This last survivor of the many thousand drainage windpumps of the Cambridgeshire fenlands was moved from Adventurers Fen, reconstructed and re-erected here by The Council for the Preservation of Rural England, Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely Branch, through the generosity of its chairman Lord Fairhaven, and the skills of the wheelwright C J Ison AD 1956

The mill was moved from Adventurer's Fen. It is still used occasionally to control water level in the Fen and to prevent peat from drying out in summer.
