Cley Windmill on a summers evening, Cley-next-the Sea, Norfolk, England, UK
Cley windmill was built in the early 19th century. It was not marked on William Faden's map of Norfolk published in 1797. The first mention was an advert in the Norfolk Chronicle of 26 June 1819, where the mill was for sale, described as "newly erected" and in the ownership of the Farthing family. The mill was not sold and remained the property of the Farthing family, until 1875, when Dorothy Farthing, the then owner, died. The mill was bought by the miller, Stephen Barnabas Burroughes. It was worked by the Burroughes family until c1912, when the business was transferred to their windmill at Holt.[2] In 1921, the windmill was sold by the Burroughes Brothers to Mrs Sarah Maria Wilson for the sum of £350 and she had the mill converted to a holiday home.[2] The architect responsible for the conversion was Cecil Upcher.[3] The machinery was removed, with the gear wheels being cut in half and used as decoration within the mill Cley Windmill is a grade II* listed[1] tower mill at Cley next the Sea, Norfolk, England which has been converted to residential accommodation.
