East Runton Windmill, Grade II listed windmill in East Runton, England.

The five-story tower windmill stands 38 feet tall on Drake's Hill, constructed with cement-rendered brick and featuring four double-shuttered sails mounted on an iron windshaft.

First documented on Bryant's map of Norfolk in 1826, the windmill operated until 1908 under various millers, including Joseph Baker and Ronald Hall.

The mill represents Norfolk's agricultural heritage, where grain processing facilities served as essential resources for local farming communities throughout the nineteenth century.

Located at coordinates 52.932939, 1.272903, the structure has been converted into residential quarters while maintaining its original architectural features.

The windmill's restoration project received recognition through the Graham Allen Award in September 2001, marking its transformation from dereliction to preserved heritage.
