Thorpeness Windmill
Situated on the Suffolk coast is Thorpeness Windmill, a Grade II-listed post mill. Built in 1803, this former corn mill was originally based in Aldringham but was then moved to Thorpeness and converted into a water pumping mill in 1923, in order to supply the nearby House in the Clouds with water.
Its quaint design can be attributed to the Ogilvie family, who replaced its American-style metal mill with a more traditional, weatherboarded style, in keeping with the rest of Thorpeness’ architecture at the time.
