This mill was originally a little lower down the hill, and was moved to a new position higher up.[2] The last owner, Mr E Mannering, fitted the fantail from Willesborough windmill in 1946,[3] and restored the mill in 1956.He was awarded a Windmill Certificate by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings for his efforts.A new stage had been prepared for the restored mill, and this was donated to Draper's Windmill, Margate and erected there by Vincent Pargeter.It had four single patent sails mounted on a cast-iron windshaft and was winded by a fantail.
