Collis Mill is a Grade II* listed[1] smock mill at Great Thurlow, Suffolk, England which has been restored.

History

Collis Mill was originally built at Slough, Berkshire. It was moved to Great Thurlow in 1807[2] replacing an earlier post mill.[3] Thomas Hunt, the Soham millwright, carried out repairs to the mill in 1914. It ceased working by wind in 1915 and the sails were removed from 1920.[2] The mill was worked by a portable steam engine until 1937.[5] The derelict mill was capless in 1959 when it was purchased by R A Vestey for restoration as a visual amenity.[6] Restoration was completed in 1962.[3]
