Built from local ironstone and topped with brick, the Windmill is a five-storey tower mill circa 1814. It has an ogee cap and fantail, originally with six patent sails and is known as a Six Arm Lincolnshire Cross.
In 1952, it ceased grinding corn (by then it was powered by an engine) but continued with cattle feed until 1960. It is one of only four six-sailed windmills remaining in the country.
Partially restored and providing a superb view of the village and surrounding unspoilt countryside, the Windmill together with the Tearooms, woodland of native British trees and the craft shops is a unique visitor attraction.
The Tearooms...Open for hot and cold drinks, homemade cakes and scones, cream teas, snacks, sandwiches and hot meals. Lunch specials and hot puddings - varieties changed regularly.
We also have a playground, playhouse, large grassy area, a small vehicle track for younger children and a woodland puzzle trail through our 2 acre woodland of native British trees. Group Bookings are welcome.
