Stocks Mill is a Grade II * listed〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = English Heritage )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = The Mills Archive Trust )〕 post mill in Wittersham on the Isle of Oxney, in Kent, England which has been preserved. ==History==
Probably built around 1781, it was named ''Stocks Mill'' after the village stocks that stood nearby. The mill may be older and may have been moved from Stone in Oxney, with the date 1781 carved into the main post denoting its re-erection.〔 The Mill House was at one time used as the parish Poorhouse.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Workhouses.org )〕 The mill was last worked circa 1900, and was then preserved by Norman Forbes-Robertson, who owned the mill and Mill House. The mill passed into the ownership of the artist Randolph H Sauter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Ashford Tourism )〕 and then Sir Edward Parry. The mill was repaired in 1958, and in 1968 a new stock and pair of sails was fitted by the millwright Derek Ogden. In 1980, the mill was acquired by Kent County Council and the Friends of Stocks Mill was set up to allow the mill to be opened to the public. The mill underwent a restoration programme starting in 2002 and partly funded by the National Lottery, which included two new sails amongst other work. Some of the milling machinery which had been removed over the years was recreated.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = The Mills Archive Trust )〕 The mill was reopened to the public in 2004.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Roughwood )〕
