Brograve Mill, Grade II listed windmill in Sea Palling, England.

The red brick structure stands along Waxham New Cut, featuring a Norfolk boat-shaped cap and remains of an 8-bladed fantail system.

Sir Berney Brograve constructed this drainage mill in 1771 to manage water levels in the surrounding agricultural lands until operations ceased in 1930.

The mill represents traditional Norfolk engineering methods from the 18th century, when wind-powered drainage systems transformed the agricultural landscape.

Access to the structure requires following a path next to Waxham New Cut from Horsey Mere, though entering the building is prohibited due to safety risks.

The mill's notable westward lean results from soil subsidence, requiring multiple straightening attempts throughout its operational lifetime.
