[1] The present structure was built in 1912 on the foundations of the 18th-century Horsey Black Mill.

The Great Storm of 1987 caused further damage, and repair works were required before the building could reopen to visitors in 1990.

Finally, after a four-month wait of unsuccessful tests in unfavourable wind, the sails eventually turned on the evening of Wednesday 29 May 2019 for the first time since 1943.

[3] The Buxton family continue to manage the Horsey estate, emphasising nature conservation.

On the estate there are waymarked circular walks, the main one being the path via Brograve Mill; the walk provides great views across Horsey Mere and access to the beach at Horsey Gap.
