Yes. There was a mill there in 14 th century it seems.
  Robert 3? obtained a charter for a mill at Leiston on that site.
 No doubt rebuilt over the centuries.Bought by   James Lambert ( HJ ?)   in 1875.
By 1920 mill was gone but Mill House and barn still standing. Houses built around.

Here is the IPM reference for the windmill in Polstede. A messuage with 2 gardens, 40a. land, a dovecot, a fishpond, and a wind-mill.
