History

Hogg Hill Mill was built in Pett in 1781 and moved to Icklesham in 1790. It was working by wind until 1920, when it was stopped owing to a weak weatherbeam.^[1] Today, the recording studios of Sir Paul McCartney are to be found at the mill.^[2]

Description

For an explanation of the various pieces of machinery, see Mill machinery.

Hogg Hill Mill is a post mill on a two storey roundhouse. It has four spring sails carried on a cast iron windshaft and is winded by a roof mounted fantail, one of only two surviving post mills in England with this feature, and the only one where this can still be seen.^[3] The mill drove two pairs of millstones, arranged head and tail. The brake wheel has been removed, but the wooden tail wheel is of clasp arm construction.^[1]
