Bembridge Windmill

Knowle Mill, better known today as Bembridge Windmill, is a Grade I listed preserved tower mill at Bembridge on the Isle of Wight. The Mill was built c. 1700 and was painted by Turner in 1795. The mill was working by wind until 1913, having only been used for grinding animal feed after 1897 and it was restored in 1935 and again in 1959, the latter restoration being funded by public subscription. In 1962 the mill was taken over by the National Trust and it has been further restored and is nowopen to the public.
