West Winch Windmill, Historical windmill in West Winch, Norfolk, England.
The five-story red brick tower windmill measures 42 feet to the curb with a diameter of 14 feet at its base.
Built in 1821 by Francis Plumpton, the mill operated until 1936 when operations ceased following the death of proprietor Ernest Kerrison.
The Grade II listed structure represents Norfolk's agricultural heritage through its original wind-powered grain milling operations and later steam adaptations.
The structure underwent restoration in 1975, receiving a new cap and six-blade fantail in 1977, though the cap currently requires repairs.
The mill complex included additional facilities such as a granary, workshop, and bakery, with a steam engine powering a fourth set of stones.
