Moulton mill

My calls took me out in the direction of Holbeach so I took the opportunity of driving past Moulton mill.  This colossal tower mill has the distinction of being the largest surviving windmill not only in Lincolnshire, but in the whole country. It can claim to be the largest complete windmill, Sutton mill in Norfolk is 80 feet high to the top of its cap. Moulton mill however is 100 feet high to the top of its ogee cap. It was built in about 1822 by Robert King.  It has nine storeys.
