Built in 1877 by Saunderson of Louth in the typical Lincolnshire style,[1] since then it has been restored and is now owned by English Heritage and managed by an independent party.
It is a six-storey windmill with complete gear, six sails and fantail which still works today.
However the slenderness of the tower combined with the flat landscape which surrounds the mill give the illusion that Sibsey is larger than it actually is.
The slim central tower also makes the sails look enormous in comparison.
It has now been restored to full working order and today produces a wide range of organic flours.
