Tutelina Mill was built in 1865 and shares its name with a Roman harvest goddess (now usually known as Tutilina). A steam mill was erected nearby. The windmill worked by wind until 1910.[2] The sails were removed in 1916,[3] and the mill was worked by a Crossley[1] engine until the mid-1960s.[2]
Description
For an explanation of the various pieces of machinery, see Mill machinery.
Tutelina Mill is a small four storey tower mill. The tower is 28 feet 6 inches (8.69 m) to the curb.[4] It had a domed cap, winded by a fantail. The four Patent sails drove two pairs of millstones.[2] The wallower is cast iron with wooden teeth, carried on a cast iron upright shaft. The great spur wheel is also cast iron with wooden teeth.[1]
