Buttrum's Mill is one of
England's finest tower windmills. Built in 1836,
it was probably a wedding present to its first owner,
Pierce Trott, who married in the same year. The
mill is a product of the famous Suffolk millwright John
Whitmore. Visitors can climb the tall tower to
see his elegant machinery, including no less than four
pairs of millstones.
