Submarine wreck and mud walls in Cambridgeshire among 284 historic places given protected status
An 18th-century windmill in Yorkshire, the wreck of a second world war submarine off Dartmouth and a series of rare mud walls in Cambridgeshire are among 284 historic places added to the National Heritage list for England in 2021.
Lelley windmill, in Elstronwick, East Riding, built in 1790 to mill corn, retains a full set of original milling machinery which was adapted for steam power to meet demand for flour from the rapidly growing urban population. Now Grade II listed, it encapsulates the impact of the Industrial Revolution on small-scale rural industry in Yorkshire, Historic England said.
