Possible Site of Windmill

Description of this historic site

Documentary evidence suggests that this may have been the site of a windmill in use during the Imperial period. 'Windmill Hill' was marked on a tithe map of 1842, but there is no longer any trace of an associated windmill mound in this field, south west of Umberslade Park.

Notes about this historic site

1 An 1842 Tithe Apportionment Map marks a field as Windmill Hill at the above grid reference.
2 No mound is evident in the above field nor on the higher ground to the SE which would be a likely site for a windmill. Ploughing may have levelled off any mound that might have marked the site. There is a mound to the NE of Windmill Hill, but this may be too extensive to be associated with a windmill (see WA 1083).
