Buxhall Windmill, Tower mill and Grade II listed building in Buxhall, England.

The brick tower mill stands 17 feet 8 inches in diameter at curb level and contains three stories built upon a three-story base from a previous structure.

The current tower mill, completed in 1861 by William Bear for £506, incorporated machinery, cap, and sails from an earlier smock mill that stood at the site.

The mill operated continuously under the Clover family's management, with Isaac Clover initiating the family's connection to the site from 1815 to 1844.

Following storm damage in November 1929, the mill transitioned from wind power to engine-driven operations, which continued until 1971.

The structure features distinctive cast iron gutters and a fantail system that automatically turns the cap to face incoming winds for optimal operation.
