Background
History
The earliest mention of Sibsey is in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it is called Sibolci. It had a total of 77 households, 6 ploughlands (approximately 720 acres), 120 acres of meadow, and a church. Ivo Tallboys (or Taillebois) was lord and tenant-in-chief in 1086. In 1066, the lord was Stori of Bolingbroke.
Description
Sibsey's most prominent feature is the Grade I listed and scheduled Sibsey Trader Mill. This six-storey windmill, which was built to replace an earlier post mill, has six sails and was completed in 1877 by Sanderson and Son of Louth. In 1954 it ceased working under wind-power, and fell into disuse. It was restored to working order with engine-driven mill stones in 1981, and is under the guardianship of English Heritage. It operated until 2018 when it was damaged in gales, necessitating a further restoration project including replacement of the cap, fantail and sails, and remains closed. The mill should not be confused with a non-working red brick Grade II listed windmill on the eastern side…
