Breachwood Green Mill is a Grade II listed[1] tower mill at King's Walden, Hertfordshire, England which has been converted to residential accommodation.

History

A windmill was recorded at Kings Walden in 1329. Another is mentioned in 1762. The first mention of the mill was in 1861 when William Dellow was the miller. His son William had been born at Kings Walden in 1859. Dellow was succeeded at the mill by his son, who worked the mill until 1900. The mill had lost its sails by 1930, and the cap was a bare frame by 1936. The mill was converted to residential accommodation in 1998.[2] Recent photographs of the mill show that the brick tower has been clad in weatherboarding with the result that the mill now resembles a many-sided smock mill.[3]
