These are two I found, although the second one seems to be a list of surviving windmills. If you knew the name of the windmill it may be easier to find out more information.

I have looked at the site and the given positions of both the demolished windmills in my home village appear to be incorrect.
Burt, Cockrill, Craske, Debenham, Double, Grimwade, Grimwood, Hilder, Mayhew, Ray. All from  West Suffolk around the Bury St. Edmunds area.
Simpson, Pittendreigh, Arthur.   Aberdeenshire
