Hurt Wood Mill, Tower mill in Ewhurst, England.

The four-story brick tower mill features an ogee cap and four patent sails mounted on a cast iron windshaft for grain grinding operations.

Originally constructed in 1845 to replace a damaged post mill, Hurt Wood Mill operated until 1885 when its sails and fantail were removed.

The mill appears in George Vicat Cole's painting 'Harvest Time', which is exhibited at the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery.

The Grade II listed status, granted in 1960, ensures the preservation of this historical structure for educational and architectural study purposes.

In 1937, millwrights Neve's from Heathfield installed four new sails that would rotate clockwise, contrary to the original counterclockwise operation.
