The history of Frindsbury Baptist Church is currently being researched and as soon as it is completed will be uploaded to this site. But what is known is that prior to moving to our current site, the church met at a windmill in Bill Street Road.
Here was a smock mill, so called because this type was considered to resemble the old-time labourers' smock. In this case the main body of the mill was a fixture- a sloping tower- with only the cap swivelling to bring the sails into the wind. It was owned for many years by a Mr Kimmins, and drove four pairs of stones. This mill was demolished in about 1930, having stood derelict for a long period. The Mill House, although having undergone some alterations, yet remains to represent a different age.
