Built on a mound and eight storeys in height, it had eight sails. It dates to at least 1778, although the initials SH and 1643 are reputed to have been on a beam inside the mill. The last miller used it in the 1930s. The adjoining flour and provender roller mill suffered a fire in the 1970s. The mill minus the sails is now used as a residence. None of the other dozen or so mills survive.<ref>{{cite book|author=Robert Stevens|title=Cambridgeshire Windmills and Watermills|publisher=Cambridgeshire Wind and Watermill Society|year=1985}}</ref> [[File:Wisbech-clarkson-memorial--.jpg|thumb|upright=0.75|The [[Clarkson Memorial]] in Wisbech in 2013, in memory of the [[abolitionist]] [[Thomas Clarkson]]]]
