Stutton Windmill is a historic building in Stutton, North Yorkshire, a village in England.
The windmill was built to grind corn, probably in the early 19th century.[1][2] It is identical in design to the demolished Carr Mill, which was at Laughton-en-le-Morthen.[3] It appears to have been disused by 1893,[2] and was long derelict by the 1940s. The sails have since been removed.[4] Much of the ground around the mill was removed when the Tadcaster bypass was constructed in the 1970s, leaving the building standing on a mound.[5] The building was restored in 2008 by the Samuel Smith Old Brewery. It has been grade II listed since 1987.[1]
The windmill is built of Tadcaster limestone. It has a circular plan, and is tapering, and is without a roof. On each side are straight-headed entrances, and there are irregularly spaced square window openings above.[1] Inside are the remains of two millstones, each marked with a cross.[3]
