The Windmill, built around 1760, was used to grind wheat, barley and oats. In 1889 a steam engine was installed to drive the mill when there was no wind. The Granary was moved from Ham as the mill's original granary was demolished in the 1960s. It is supported on staddle stones which help to keep out rats and mice. Inside the granary are machines for sowing seeds, harvesting tools and also saddle and harness making tools used by Frederick Harle a Master Saddler who worked in Sandwich.
