Thrigby Windmill, Post mill in Mautby, England.
Thrigby Windmill stands on Mill Lane, featuring a two-foot-square oak main post that supports the weatherboard-clad body containing the milling machinery.
Robert Woolmer, owner of Thrigby Hall, constructed this post mill in 1790 to process wheat from the estate until operations ceased in 1889.
The mill represents traditional agricultural practices in Norfolk, with its four common sails and brick roundhouse design reflecting regional milling architecture.
The mill structure rotates on its central post to align the sails with prevailing winds, demonstrating the engineering principles of wind-powered grain processing.
Following a century of disuse and beetle infestation, Nick Prior acquired and restored the mill in 1981, making it one of three remaining post mills in Norfolk.
