Shirley The Drinkstone Village website has a page about the Mills at http://drinkstonevillage.co.uk/page82.html and it appears that the Drinkstone History Society had a meeting there in June - it may be worth contacting the person named on http://drinkstonevillage.co.uk/page87aaaa.html. Pat has also suggested the Woolpit History Group may be able to help and their contact is John Wiley at john.wiley@woolpit.org. If you are not successful with these contacts your could have a look at http://www.suffolkmills.org.uk/windmills/drinkstone.html where you will find another contact number although I am not sure if this is current information.
