Deopham towermill was built at Mill Farm on the southeast side of the Attleborough Road. The 4 storey mill was built c.1830 to replace the smockmill that had stood on the site for many years. The mill used 4 double shuttered sails, each with 8 bays of 3 shutters to power two pairs of French burr stones and a flour mill. The boat shaped cap had a petticoat and held a 6 bladed fan.
