Somerley Mill, Grade II listed smock mill in Earnley, England

The eight-sided Somerley Mill features a three-story design built on a single-story brick base, with a temporary roof covering the remaining tower structure.

Constructed in 1803, the mill received substantial improvements in 1827 with the addition of a brick base, operating continuously until its closure in 1942.

The mill exemplifies traditional English agricultural engineering, with its structure reflecting the regional grain processing methods of Sussex farming communities.

While the mill is not currently operational, visitors can observe the external architecture and ongoing restoration work from designated viewing points.

The mill combined two power sources through its two pairs of overdrift millstones powered by wind and a third pair driven by an auxiliary engine.
