Heritage Mill, Smock mill in North Chailey, England.

Heritage Mill displays an octagonal roundhouse of tarred brick with weatherboarding above, featuring a boat-shaped cap and intact fantail mechanism.

The current mill, built in 1830 at Highbrook, moved to Newhaven in 1844, and later relocated to its present location in Chailey, replacing a post mill.

The mill represents traditional English milling practices, with its Grade II listed status recognizing its role in local agricultural development and industrial methods.

Visitors can access the mill site throughout the year to observe its external architecture and learn about historical grain processing methods.

The mill survived a severe tailwind in 1928 that removed its cap and sails, leading to restoration work in 1933 by Neve's millwrights.
