Lower Mill, Dalham, Grade II listed smock mill in Dalham, England.

Lower Mill stands as a three-story smock mill with a single-story brick base and four patent sails measuring 27 feet in length.

The mill began operations in 1790 and continued grinding grain until 1926, with the Ruffle family managing its functions from 1802 to 1855.

The mill represents Suffolk's agricultural legacy through its preserved wooden machinery, including the clasp-arm brake wheel and great spur wheel.

Three pairs of French Burr millstones remain on the first floor, supported by a hurst frame that demonstrates traditional milling mechanisms.

The mill contains an internal wooden machinery system with three pairs of underdriven millstones, distinguishing it among England's surviving windmills.
