Windmill at Haverhill, Suffolk

The tower mill at Haverhill was one of only four windmills to be fitted with an annular sail; none now survive. The sail, which was effectively a wind wheel, was said to have been installed by the owner, Mr Ruffle, in around 1860. Find out more about windmills and watermills in our Teachers' Kit - Mills.
