Friston Windmill
Friston Windmill was moved from Woodbridge by Collins, the Melton millwright in 1812 and erected on land purchased by William and Mary Scarlett.The millwrights’ report showed that the mill was structurally sound and it was agreed in principle that the mill should be moved to the East Anglian Rural Life Museum at Stowmarket, where plans for the museum included a windmill.Permission for demolition was rescinded and on the death of the last miller in 1972 a new owner bought the mill with the intention of preserving it.[3] In 2003, English Heritage gave a grant covering 20% of the cost of repairs which then needed doing to the mill.It had four Patent sails and was winded by a fantail carried on the rear steps in the Suffolk style.
