Description
''Corton Mill'' was a six storey tower mill. It had a boat shaped cap winded by a bladed ''fantail''. The four ''Patent sails'' drove two pairs of ''millstones''.[ The mill was built with room to add a further two pairs of millstones.][ Photographs show the fantail to have been six bladed and that the sails had ten bays of three shutters.
