Six Mile House, Chedgrave Detached or Hewitts Mill is a Grade II listed tower mill at Chedgrave, Norfolk, United Kingdom. A drainage mill, it survives in a derelict condition with most of its machinery.
History Six Mile House Mill, also known as Chedgrave Detached Mill and Hewitt's Mill, may have been standing in the 1820s. It was rebuilt in the 1870s. The mill was listed Grade II on 22 February 1988. Flood alleviation work in the 2000s left the mill isolated in a pond. It was sold in June 2022 to Karl Phillips, who stated his intent was to fully restore the mill.
