Old Buckenham Mill is the largest diameter mill in the country. The mill was build of red brick in 1818, and was built for John Burlingham who was the miller at the nearby Mill Farm postmill that became the site of the Methodist Chapel in 1871. It was believed that the mill was originally built with 8 common sails, these were replaced by 4 sails after serious storm damage in 1879. – Information from Norfolk Mills website.
