Originally built in 1821, the Grade 2 listed mill was powered by 4 sails, 11 metres in length, and was in commercial use until 1966.

The mill was sold to the local council in 1969 for £1 and after being renovated was opened in 1974 as a working museum. It is the last working English windmill north of the Humber, producing stoneground wholemeal flour from locally grown wheat.
