Ellis' Mill — Attraction in Lincoln

A beautifully restored working windmill standing on the Lincoln ridge and overlooking the Trent valley.

The windmill is part of the Museum of Lincolnshire Life and is open on summer weekends. Please check the website for opening times to avoid disappointment.

The windmill contains stairs which lead up through the three floors. The ground floor is wheelchair accessible, and the volunteer guids will explain how the mill works for anyone who may not be able to tackle the stairs.

The guids will fill your visit with a wealth of knowledge as you climb up the mill and follow the grain on its journey through the mill.

All in all, great place to visit and enjoy a trip...

I used to volunteer here and help run the mill but lack of spending by management (?) looks to have signed the death warrant for this fine and singular remaining example of a small Lincolnshire Tower Mill. I note it is still out of action....Shame on the council.. I note it is currently advertised as a working mill by 'The Collection' (museum) website and Visit Lincoln's website.. Shame on them too! This is the last of 9 on the Lincoln Edge! Please get it...

Bit of an odd post I will write, I am looking for the family of John Bradford who was the miller in 2001. I was a media student, and Mr Bradford kindly gave us his time to film a short beautiful documentary. I would like to show the video to his family - I think they would like it. Find me on X (twitter)...
