Description

It was winded by a fantail. There was a stage at second-floor level. The mill drove four pairs of millstones.
The reconstructed mill has a four-storey smock on the original two-storey mill base, with the cap of a different design to the original, and lacking a fantail. The sails are 12.5 metres (41 ft) long each. The generator is rated at about 20 kilowatts (27 hp) capacity.
