Chesterton Windmill, Warwickshire

Chesterton Windmill is a famous feature of the Warwickshire landscape and can be seen from several miles away.

 

It stands on a hilltop overlooking the Roman Fosse Way about five miles south-east of Warwick.

 

The mill was built in the years 1632-1633 and remained in use until about 1910 when its machinery ceased to work. It was restored from 1965- 1971 by Warwickshire County Council in collaboration with the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Buildings and the Ministry of Public Building and Works.
