Monument record ORF 239 - Circa 1171: 'Newly erected [wind?] mill'.

Circa 1171: 'Newly erected [wind?] mill' (S1, 216). Same as that recorded in 1318? (S1, 229).
In 1323 it is recorded that 'A windmill had been newly erected by William de Claydon, Lord of the Manor of Orford, and the inhabitants took their corn tithes to be ground, so that the profits of the King's mills were greatly diminished' (S1, 229).
'There had also lately been erected a water-mill, but it was recently submerged by the sea' (S1, 229).
Note 3 windmills are mapped in circa 1570-80 and in 1588 (by Ananias Appleton - SRO, Ipswich).
Also see ORF 020 (Black Mill, PMed) and ORF 004 for medieval watermill.
