History
Hogg Hill Mill was built in Pett in 1781 and moved to Icklesham in 1790. It was working by wind until 1920, when it was stopped owing to a weak weatherbeam. Today, the recording studios of Sir Paul McCartney are to be found at the mill.
Description
Hogg Hill Mill is a post mill on a two storey roundhouse. It has four spring sails carried on a cast iron windshaft and is winded by a roof mounted fantail, one of only two surviving post mills in England with this feature, and the only one where this can still be seen. The mill drove two pairs of millstones, arranged head and tail. The brake wheel has been removed, but the wooden tail wheel is of clasp arm construction.
