Today we took a shorter trip via Stokesby and Mautby to Filby Broad. Filby Broad is one of the Trinity broads, which are not connected to the river system and are used as storage reservoirs.
As we passed Mautby we visited Thrigby Post Windmill, which was built in around 1790 by Robert Woolmer to grind wheat for the Thrigby Estate.
More details of the history of the windmill can be found on Wikipedia here.
We then toured via Thrigby to Filby Broad.
