"in 1802 James leased land off Thomas Eccleston (the field known as Mill Hey) to build a new windmill and house.This was in Scarisbrick. There is a James Meadows listed as buried in Churchtown in 1835 his age recorded as 99 years .This is most probably James maybe the records have been written badly and the 99 is 90 which would be correct." - Germaine Cowell

By the 16th Century wind power had replaced water power in North Meols, Lancashire, England. The Old Churchtown Manorial Mill was a flour grinding mill built of brick in 1725 and situated in Mill Lane, about half way along that road, near to the junction of Roe Lane. This was the traditional site of the windmill; a steam engine was installed in 1856. The sails were removed in 1861 and the tower demolished in 1876 after a fire. It was then re-built as a steam mill; run by diesel in 1928 and finally shut down in 1955. There was also a 16th Century water mill which was situated on the Meols Hall Estate, just off Moss Lane.
