Archive research was undertaken which identified a series of leases, mortgages and sales particulars which have contextualised and illuminated the history of the site from the late 18th century. A site visit was made on the 7th June 2023, when the principal exterior elevations were photographed. The interiors were photographically recorded to include significant structural details.. A selection of these photographs are presented in the report. The location of these photographs is shown on architects' plans supplied by the client and subsequently annotated. Further visits were undertaken during the strip out and renovation phase to identify architectural elements as they were revealed. The windmill is first mentioned in a document of 1785 and is likely to be considerably older. It is described as a smock mill whereas local tradition has it that all of the windmills in the Forest were post mills (except for a single brick mill which is thought to have stood to the west of Waverley Street. Undated but clearly 19th century images of the Vernon Arms (now Sainsburys on the corner of Waverley Street) exclusively depict typical post mills. Although there is some measure of artists licence one may well show number 18 to the right of the Vernon Arms with the windmill to the right shown on a mound. It has traditionally been accepted that the curving wall on the eastern garden boundary adjacent to the house is a remnant of this mill. Post mills were traditionally built on a timber cross tree known as an open trestle. However, over time these cross trees were often surrounded with a brick wall (known as a roundhouse to create dry storage below the mill. An example of such a development can be seen at Upthorpe Mill in Stanton (Suffolk) which was originally built as an open trestle post mill in 1751, with the roundhouse added in the 19th century. The contemporary illustration of the windmills in the Forest certainly shows the mill in the foreground with a roundhouse, although of a considerably smaller diameter while the other mills show a distinctive bank possibly where the trestle has been infilled for stability. The extant curving wall may represent a remnant of a roundhouse, a retaining wall for an earthen infill of the open trestle to provide a more solid foundation, or a retaining wall for a mound upon which the mill was built. The images suggests the latter explanation where the mill that is most likely to represent this structure is clearly shown built upon a m...
