Demolished in 1922

Memories of the old windmill which once stood off the road between Northam and Appledore have been revived by the recent demolition of Chanter’s Folly. The mill stood in a field known to this day as ‘Windmills’ which lies on the Appledore side of the lane leading to Bidna off the main Northam to Appledore road just past Knapp House. The tower fell into disrepair and became a danger to cattle wandering around its base and even inside.

The windmill tower was of brick on a stone base. A good deal of the base remains but the brick walling, which was some three feet thick, was later used to build a sea-wall under Watertown farm which can be seen today.
