Muttons Mill

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mutton's Mill (also known as Manor House Mill) is a windpump located on the Halvergate Marshes in the detached parish of Freethorpe within the Norfolk Broads National Park, United Kingdom. It can be found at OS Grid Reference TM 441 063.

[edit] History

The mill was last worked in 1947 by Mr Fred Mutton (hence the name Muttons Mill) and was used to drain the surrounding marshland into the Halvergate Fleet. The mill is now in private ownership and in 1984 a new cap and six bladed fantail followed by one pair of patent sails in 1998. The mill's restored fantail was blown off the mill in 2005 and it remains without one to this day.
