Tower Windmill at Burnham-Overy-Staithe is a landmark on the Norfolk coast and a building we greatly care about. However, it is currently in need of extensive repairs.
Working to secure the long-term future of the windmill
We’re working closely with a number of interested individuals to find the best option to secure the long-term future of Tower Windmill.
Specifically, we are exploring a long-term lease of the windmill to a new charitable organisation. This would be established to raise funds, restore and maintain the windmill, and oversee its operation to be both financially sustainable and a resource that benefits the local community.
We recognise how important Tower Windmill is to Burnham Overy residents, and the north Norfolk community more widely, and we look forward to providing further updates in due course.
