Jack, a black tower mill was built on site in 1866. Jill, a white post mill was built in Brighton about 1821 and moved to her present site by 80 oxen in 1852. Both stopped milling in 1906. From the car park next to Jill Mill strike off onto the South Downs Way and dozens of walks with magnificent views to the North Downs. People can climb up into the mill, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee in the mill, buy souvenirs and Jill s own organic flour.
Entrance is free, but donations are much appreciated for the restoration of the mill.
The mills are easily visable, and so when on the A273 and passing over Clayton Hill, they are simple to find. They stand in Windmill Lane where there is also a car park. All rights reserved 1999. Site by dappa web publishing Ltd.
