BRILL WINDMILL WOLDS- BUCKS
This was a very cold windy day at Brill and it was deserted, I have never seen it empty of people before. The start of LOCKDOWN
At Brill on the hill
The wind blows shrill
The cook no meat can dress
At Stow-in-the-Wold
The wind blows cold
I know no more than this.
Brill is also known for its windmill, last owned and used by the Pointer and Nixie family who also baked bread in their house in the village.[citation needed] With timbers dating from 1685, Brill Windmill provides one of the earliest and best preserved examples of a post mill (the earliest type of European windmill) in the UK.[8] Management and ownership of the Grade II* listed mill was passed to Buckinghamshire County Council in 1947 who, through a number of major interventions, have ensured that the mill still stands today. In 1967 the Council installed a structural steel framework that helps to support the mill's ancient timber frame but means that the mill is static and can no longer turn to face the wind.
