Medmerry Mill

Medmerry Mill is a brick tower mill in Selsey with four stories, a domed cap, and restored sails that turn according to wind direction. The building sits on Mill Lane and now functions as a retail space while preserving its historical exterior features.

The mill was built in 1827 and replaced an older post mill on the same site. It operated with two pairs of millstones for flour production until the early 1920s.

The mill represents traditional English milling technology from the early industrial period. It stands today as a defining landmark of the nearby Medmerry School.

The Mill Lane location is easy to find, and the facade displays original architectural features. As a functioning retail space, visitors can view the exterior features at any time.

The mill survived the great storm of 1987, which damaged its sails. A comprehensive restoration afterward preserved its mechanical components for future generations.
