Nutley Windmill is thought to have been moved from Kilndown, Goudhurst, Kent circa 1817.

[6] In 1975, Nutley Windmill was given to the Uckfield and District Preservation Society by Lady Castle Stewart.

It is the location for the night time fantasy scene starring Led Zeppelin's bass and keyboard player John Paul Jones.

New rear steps were fitted to the mill in 1994/5, the work funded by a grant from British Telecom.

Nutley Windmill featured on a postage stamp that was issued by the Royal Mail on 20 June 2017.

[3] The manorial records of Duddleswell show the land upon which the windmill sits was formed by a partition of a tenement in 1836 of 7 acres on the condition that no dwelling be erected.

Subsequent manorial and Census records give the names and occupations of the people living at the windmill, starting with Henry Sitford from 1836 until 1862 when he forfeited it on non-payment of the mortgage.
