Chapel Field
postmill |
Chapel Field postmill, in 1289, was possibly the earlist mill to be mentioned anywhere in Norwich. |
The earliest mention of a windmill within the city is probably that of 1289 regarding a mill owned by the Prior of Buckenham, very likely the mill in the Chapel Field granted to Richard Spynk, a citizen of Norwich, by Prior Hugh a little more than 50 years later. |
