Gazeley Windmill, Tower mill in Gazeley, England

This six-story brick tower mill features a boat-shaped cap with a gallery and retains its four patent sails for grinding grain.

William Death constructed the mill in 1837 to replace a post mill, installing five pairs of millstones for grain processing operations.

The mill received Grade II Listed status, marking its importance in Suffolk's industrial heritage and traditional grain processing methods.

The mill ceased operations in 1920, and in 1947 the structure underwent conversion into residential accommodation after removal of machinery.

In 1880, the mill incorporated a Gippeswyck oil engine installed by Turners of Soham to enhance its milling capabilities.
