Friston Windmill

Friston Windmill was moved from Woodbridge by Collins, the Melton millwright in 1812 and erected on land purchased by William and Mary Scarlett. They sold the mill to Joseph Collings in 1812. The mill was worked by several different millers until 1837 when it was purchased by Joshua Reynolds from Knodishall. The mill passed to Caleb Reynolds Wright in 1883 In 1965, permission was granted for the demolition of the mill but this was not carried out. In 2004, it was announced that a steel framework was to be erected around the mill in order to allow work on the trestle and body of the mill.

Friston Windmill is a tall post mill with a roundhouse. It had four Patent sails and was winded by a fantail carried on the rear steps in the Suffolk style. The mill is 50 ft high, making it the tallest surviving post mill in the United Kingdom. The mill had two pairs of millstones in the breast and one pair in the tail.
