Hempnall Mill Road towermill was a 4-storey mill built by James Carver under a 150 year lease in 1814, in an adjacent field to the existing postmill. At the end of the lease the mill was to be taken down and removed in order to leave the land in a fit state for cultivation. The mill was designed to draw trefoil seeds as well as to grind corn. The tower was 7.50 metres high and had two doors on the ground floor. It had a boat shaped cap with a petticoat and fan and was powered by four double-shuttered sails.
