A 5-storey, 5-sailed brick tower mill built in c.1813 by Sam Oxley of Alford, together with a range of outbuildings. It was known as Dobson's Mill after a long-serving miller here.

It retains a full range of machinery and equipment including three pairs of stones and it has unusual left-handed sails (ie, they rotate clockwise, unlike most windmills).

This 5-sailed tower mill (Dobson's Mill) was built in 1813 and regularly grinds corn today.

It contains much of the original machinery and, unusually, turns clockwise.

There are 3 pairs of wind-powered millstones and one pair engine-powered by a Blackstone (of Stamford) diesel engine.

The view in this sketch looks west along High Street from Skegness Road.

On the left are the two of the principal buildings in the village - the church of St Peter and St Paul and the 5-sailed windmill.

At one time the a small gasworks occupied a site on the south side of High Street close to the windmill.

An attractive composition of station house, platform buildings and signal box, Burgh le Marsh station remains surprisingly complete today despite its closure, along with the railway here, in 1970.

Until 1923 it was known simply as Burgh.

For over 20 years, until the line to Skegness from Firsby was opened, it was the nearest station to the seaside town, six miles away to the east.

Here is a fine example of the Perpendicular period of architecture.

The church of St Peter and St Paul,
Burgh-le-Marsh, has outstanding Jacobean woodwork in the pulpit, font cover & north chapel screen.
