Gayton Windmill, Grade II listed tower mill in Gayton, Norfolk, England.

The eight-story tower mill stands with an interior diameter of 22 feet at its base and walls measuring 2 feet in thickness.

The structure dates from 1824, replacing an earlier post mill that existed in 1797 as documented on Faden's map of Norfolk.

This Norfolk windmill represents the agricultural heritage of eastern England, where grain processing supported local communities for generations.

The building now serves as seasonal holiday accommodation following renovation work and planning permission granted in 1987.

The mill operated with four Patent sails and contained three pairs of overdrift millstones, later supplemented by steam engine power.
