The village of Holton or to use it's correct name Holton St Peter stands about a mile from the nearby town of Halesworth. To the north of the village stands a former World War II airfield, very little of which remains today it was used during the war by the American forces as both a fighter and bomber base.

The church of St Peter with it's Saxon round tower one of the tallest in Suffolk.

Quaint cottages sit astride the main road which runs through the village.

Holton's Post Mill can be seen between these two cottages.

Cottages in Mill Road.

The mill stands on a wooded hill overlooking the village and is accessed by this lovely stepped path.

The present mill parts of which date from the 18th century ceased working around the early 1900s but a mill have be recorded on this site since medieval times.

This fantail is the mechanism by which the mill is able to turn around its centre post so always facing the prevailing wind.
