Pakenham, England

The Peacemaker was filmed in April 1977 at Pakenham, near Bury St. Edmunds (the

Windmill sequences), Hitcham in Suffolk (near Ipswich on the B1115) and Barton Mills

(between Newmarket and Thetford on the A11).

 

The Pakenham windmill was erected in 1830 and was used until the 1950s. The mill no

longer grinds but the sails still turn. The mill was restored as recently as May 2000 and

the family who owns it are welcoming to visitors who may want to see it at close

quarters. You can buy flour and oats from the mill office.
