Swim Coots Mill is a tower mill at Catfield, Norfolk, England which has been conserved with some machinery remaining.
Swim Coots Mill was built in the early nineteenth century. It was marked on the 1838 Ordnance Survey map. The mill was working until at least the 1930s but was derelict by 1978.[1] The mill has since been conserved, with the tower roofed over.[2]
Swim Coots mill is a two storey tower mill which formerly had a boat shaped cap winded by a fantail. It had four double Patent sails. The tower is 15feet diameter at the base and 19feet high to curb level. It drove a 5feet diameter scoopwheel housed internally. The mill also drove a single pair of millstones.[1]
