Sleaford Explorer Trail – Clue 8

The Clue

Walking through the yard you’ll see the remaining tower of Money’s Mill; a Grade II Listed windmill which was built in the early 1790’s and was used to mill corn.

The Question

What colour is the windmill tower painted?

Hint

The mill does not have any sails left on it. Look for a round tower-like building.

 

The tower can be found in the middle of Money’s Yard Car Park.
