St. Margarets Mill is a tower mill at Fleggburgh, Norfolk, United Kingdom which was built in the mid-18th Century. It worked until the 1960s and has been converted to residential use.
History St. Margaret's Mill was built c.1747. It was working until c.1960 and was converted to residential use for John Glyn-Jones in the 1960s. The cap and sails were removed, and a glazed look-out added to the top of the tower, topped by a timber roof in the shape of a half barrel. A large building was built alongside the tower. In the 1970s, it was converted to a restaurant, serving as such until 2004. In 2005, the mill was being used as bed and breakfast accommodation.
Description St Margaret's Mill is a four storey tower mill. It had a boat shape cap with a petticoat. Four double Patent sails were carried on a cast iron windshaft. The mill was winded by an eight-bladed fantail. It drove a scoopwheel.
