Messing Maypole Mill, Tower mill in Tiptree, England.
The four-storey brick structure features a domed cap and reaches a height of 55 feet with a base diameter of 27 feet 6 inches.
Local millwright John Mathett constructed the mill in 1775 for £315, excluding brickwork, within the former parish of Tolleshunt Knights.
The mill represents traditional English milling practices, with its transformation from wind power to steam and electrical operations spanning multiple generations.
The mill contains three pairs of millstones driven by a wooden Brake Wheel measuring 10 feet in diameter through an extended Upright Shaft.
Following the removal of its sails in 1927, the mill continued operations using alternative power sources until 1962 before becoming a residence in 1969.
