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.[1] The mill was also used as a filming location for the 1951 British crime drama film The Quiet Woman, directed by John Gilling.[2]

Today, the mill houses the recording studios of Sir Paul McCartney.[3]

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. It is one of only two surviving post mills in England with this feature, and the only one where this can still be seen.[4] 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.[1]
