History
Creeting St Mary windmill was built in 1796[2] at grid reference Script error: No such module "Ordnance Survey coordinates"..[3] The mill was dismantled c1860, and the body was moved to the grounds of the medieval hall known as Houghton Park Farm, now The Old Hall. The Mill was part of the complex of outbuildings, which later became Alder Carr Farm.[2] The mill had Patent sails, which were transferred to a tower mill at Kersey when the mill was dismantled.[4] It served for many years as a dovecote. It is the only such example of a reused windmill buck remaining in the country.[1] The building was derelict by the late 1970s[3] but was restored in 1995, and moved to a new position on the farm, converted to a craft workshop. The buck retains all its original framing.[2]
