The cylindrical tower mill measured 9.5 metres (31 ft) to the cap.
Until 1908, the mill was rotated manually but after being heightened a further 1.9 metres (6 ft 3 in), it was equipped with a fantail.
In 1932, a 34 hp Ruston & Hornsby diesel engine was installed.
The mill was closed in 1969 but from 1969 it functioned using the diesel engine rather than from wind power.
[1] After buying the mill in 1982, Pedersker Lokalforening undertook substantial restoration work including the replacement of the cap (1979) and the wings (2002).
