This former mill still has displayed 'T.B. 1814 - Peace'. "The mill at Burnham Overy Town is one of only two mills in Norfolk designed to use both water and wind power from the same site ..." It was originally built in 1737. "The stone tablets above the doorways on either side of the Tower-mill were installed by the then owner, Thomas Beeton, in 1814, to commemorate the end of the Napoleonic wars and Napoleon's exile to the island of Elba." The Agents add: "A message written in lead pencil was found on the roof rafters near the tower:- 'French fleet seen 1798'."

The Agents: "Union Mills, in conjunction with other owners at Mill Farm, jointly own a further 4.7 acres of amenity land consisting of water meadows and woodland with frontage to the River Burn. ... A nominal charge is levied by a management company for the upkeep of the shared land ..."
