Built in 1814, it worked until 1881.In 1903 the cap was removed and a viewing platform installed in its place. By the 1970s the mill was the only one suriving in Hampshire with most of its internal machinery intact. The mill was purchased by the Hampshire Building Preservation Trust, and the Friends of Bursledon Windmill charity was established to raise funds for restoration. The mill was restored to working order and was able once again to grind corn.
