Union Mill is a Grade I-listed smock mill and is one of the tallest of its kind in Britain. Built in 1814 by millwright James Humphrey, the grand timber-framed structure continues to grind corn to this very day. The mill is free to enter (a donation is requested).

These old windmills are the best proof that people were clever enough a number of centuries ago - long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions that resulted from it - to harness the power of the elements for their own purposes: no human or animal muscle power is needed for the grinding process, but the wind captured by the covered wings is enough to drive the heavy millstones and thus, for example, to grind flour from grain (grain mills) or to press oil from olives (oil mills). Often they are only technical and historical evidence of a long tradition of craftsmanship, because most - although fortunately not all - of the old mills have been abandoned over time.
