Notes about this historic site
1 Immediately E of the church, and 33m above it, a windmill occupies what was no doubt the site of the windmill mentioned in 1655 as attached to the manor.
2 Two windmills are marked on an estate map of 1787, they are close to each other. Only one mill is shown on Beighton’s map of 1725 and the OS 1834 edition. The mill was blown down in 1895.
