Full Description
Contemporary records state, “Spigot mortar position in N.W. corner. At rear of The Old Windmill, Church Street”.<1>
Tiptree windmill stands to the E of Church Road (not Church Street) now surrounded by houses. An aerial photograph taken in April 1946 shows it with fields around although it is difficult to tell which would be the rear or whether “NW corner” refers to a field or yard. Without more evidence the NGR above is the position of the windmill.<2>
