Lower Mill, Woodchurch

Lower Mill was built in 1820, one of a pair of smock mills, the other being the Upper Mill. It may have had common sails when built as the sale of a pair of sails is recorded in 1848, possibly indicating the fitting of a pair of spring sails. The mill may have been moved from Susan's Hill Farm, Woodchurch in 1852, although two windmills were marked on the current site on the 1838 Tithe Map of Woodchurch. In May 2010, a new stage was made and fitted to the mill.

Lower Mill is a three-storey smock mill on a single-storey brick base. It has a Kentish-style cap and is winded by a fantail. There is a stage at first-floor level. It has four patent sails carried on a cast-iron windshaft. The Brake wheel drives a wooden Wallower mounted on a wooden Upright Shaft. The Great Spur Wheel also survives. The mill drove three pairs of millstones overdrift.
