Whatton Mill was a five-storey brick tower windmill built in 1820. It had four patent sails (sails with shutters instead of cloth) two of which were double. Milling ceased c 1916 when the last miller, John Frederick Houghton, fell off the fantail after an argument with his son Jasper. The capless tower is now a listed building.
