| Information | |
Mutton's Mill (also known as Manor House Mill) is a windpump on the Halvergate Marshes in the detached parish of Freethorpe within The Broads in Norfolk.
The mill is a Grade II* listed building[1] It may be found a mile east of the nearest village, Halvergate, and two miles north-west of Berney Arms. The Weavers' Way long-distance footpath passes close by.
History
The mill was last worked in 1947 by Mr Fred Mutton (hence the name Mutton's Mill) and was used to drain the surrounding marshland into the Halvergate Fleet. The mill is now in private ownership, and in 1984 a new cap and six-bladed fantail was installed, followed by one pair of patent sails in 1998. The mill's restored fantail was blown off the mill in 2005; however, it was replaced during 2008. From time to time it is possible to see the sails turning.
