Stembridge Mill, High Ham, Thatched tower mill in High Ham, England
The stone mill rises four stories high with a distinctive thatched cap, featuring blue lias stone construction and two pairs of grinding stones inside.
Built in 1822 for Robert Tatchell, the mill operated until 1910, transitioning from wind power to steam operation in 1897 following storm damage.
The National Trust manages this mill, which represents the agricultural methods of Somerset and demonstrates historical grain processing techniques for visitors.
Located two miles north of Langport, the mill opens seasonally and provides guided tours explaining the mechanisms of traditional grain grinding processes.
Stembridge Mill stands as the final remaining thatched windmill in England, with its original machinery and driveshaft components still preserved within.
