Syleham Windmill

James Bryant died in 1907 and the mill passed to his son Arthur, who installed a Ruston & Hornsby engine to drive an additional pair of millstones in the roundhouse.[2] When Arthur Bryant died, the mill was left to his daughter, who sold it to Jack Penton in 1945.[4] Two new sails being made from the remains of the four previously on the mill, and the side girts were strengthened.[3] The mill was worked by wind until 1951,[2] latterly on two sails[6] and an oil engine powered a pair of millstones in the roundhouse until 1967.[2] The four Spring sails[4] were carried on a cast iron windshaft and powered two pairs of millstones arranged head and tail.
