Lambridge Mill

Lambridge Mill is a Grade II listed brick windmill in Sea Palling with two remaining sails mounted on top of its main structure. The exposed iron shaft and remnants of its original cap are still visible, showing the craftsmanship of its construction.

The mill was built around 1865 and operated until 1937, draining wetlands in the area. It worked as part of a larger system that together with a neighboring mill removed water from the marshes and channeled it into Waxham New Cut.

The mill stands on private land today, serving as a quiet reminder of the engineering skills that once shaped the Norfolk landscape. Visitors can observe its brick form from the water and appreciate how local people solved the practical challenge of managing wetlands.

The mill stands on private property and is difficult to reach by land. It is best viewed from the water by traveling along Waxham New Cut in a small boat or canoe.

Historical maps and documents refer to this structure by two different names: Lambridge Mill and Lambrigg Mill. These name variations reflect how local place names were recorded in the past.
