Deed of Transfer 11829/1983, dated 12 April 1983.
This structure, known as Onze Molen, was recorded in 1850 as only the second tower-mill in the Malmesbury district. It was erected in 1840 and served as a windmill till after the tum of the century when the mechanism and the top portion of the mill were removed and the remaining structure was used as a horsemill. After restoration this historic mill will form a focal point for a new housing scheme, which will also be known as Onze Molen.
