The current Saxtead Green Mill dates back to at least 1796 when the miller was Amos Webber.

Around this time, the sails were destroyed and remade but in 1854 Whitmore and Binyon, the Wickham Market millwrights fitted new cast iron machinery and windshaft, and the layout of the machinery changed from Head and Tail to Breast stones.

Local Millwright Tim Whiting was appointed to complete the works which involved building a new set of sails and replacing the fantail.

The mill has four Patent sails carried on a cast-iron windshaft and is winded by a fantail.

[4] Reference for the above -[3] The mill is open to the public on Friday, Saturday and Bank Holidays between 1 April and 30 September each year.
