Stanton windmill is a post mill, one in which the whole of
the superstructure, complete with sails and all machinery, turns on
top of a single post. The mill dates from 1751 but was moved
to its current location around 1818. It has been restored
back to its former glory over the last twenty years and is the only
windmill in Suffolk regularly producing flour, and one of only a
handful of post mills still in working order in the UK.
The mill is privately owned by Dominic and Linda Grixti
who bought Mill Farm in 2004. Funding for the
mill's upkeep and restoration comes from visitors' entrance fees
and sales of souvenirs and flour.
