Swim Coots Mill is a tower mill at Catfield, Norfolk, England which has been conserved with some machinery remaining.

History

Swim Coots Mill was built in the early nineteenth century. It was marked on the 1838 Ordnance Survey map. The mill was working until at least the 1930s[1] but was derelict by 1978.[1] The mill has since been conserved, with the tower roofed over.[2]
