Bloody Corner and the ruined windmill

'The prominent tower beyond Appledore is not any historical monument, but a "folly". Further back in the country may be seen a more romantic ruin, which is only a dilapidated windmill, left there as a sea-mark, serving also to call attention to Bloody Corner, not far from it, where King Alfred defeated the Danes under Hubba.'
