John Baker's Mill, Tower mill in Barnham, England
The four-story mill structure features a copper-domed cap, tarred stucco exterior, and retains its original internal machinery for grain processing operations.
Built in 1829 by millwright Henry Martin of Bognor, the mill replaced a post mill that was destroyed by strong winds in October 1827.
The Baker family operated the mill for 90 years, transforming it from wind power to engine operations while maintaining its role in local agriculture.
The mill currently functions as part of a bakery operation, powered by electricity instead of its original wind mechanism through preserved internal machinery.
During World War II, the Royal Air Force used the elevated structure of John Baker's Mill as an observation post for military surveillance.
