Thaxted - John Webb's Mill by Gareth Evans

76 35

This mill stands just outside the lovely town of Thaxted in Essex, it dates to about 1825

On 5 April 2010, the stock of one pair of sails broke, and the sail crashed to the ground, damaging the stage as it fell., narrowly failing to brain the the six or seven visitors in the mill at the time.

This is just ten - fifteen miles outside the London connurbation.

John Webb's Mill or Lowe's Mill was built in 1804 for John Webb, a local farmer and landowner. The windmill was constructed to satisfy the increasing demand for flour both locally and in London. It was constructed using local materials, with timber from two local farms and the bricks were made at a nearby location in the Chelmer Valley also owned by John Webb.

The mill was always worked by millers named Lowe or John Webb, thus gaining its names. The mill was last worked commercially in 1910. The mill was disused for over twenty years until the Thaxted Civic Trust carried out essential repairs and made the structure waterproof. The lower floors were used as a scout hut. The mill passed into the ownership of Thaxted Parish Council in the 1950s. The Thaxted Society, formed in 1964, has been instrumental in the restoration of the mill to full working order.

In 2004, the cap and sails were removed to enable repairs to the brickwork at the top of the tower. The repairs were completed by the end of the year.[6] The mill was officially reopened on 8 April 2005 by Lord Petre. At present, it is a fully restored windmill, capable of grinding corn into flour. On the ground and first floors there is a rural museum containing agricultural artifacts.

pediment of King Charles Court, Greenwich by d0gwalker

King Charles Court stands at the north-western corner of the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich, facing onto the River Thames. Designed by architect John Webb and built between 1664-69 for King Charles II (hence the dedication).

The building now houses the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.

The Vyne, South Front by shadow_in_the_water

Grade I listed. Originally built as a great Tudor 'power house', The Vyne was visited by King Henry VIII on at least three occasions and later became a family home, cherished by the Chute family for more than 350 years. Dramatic improvements and changes over the centuries have made The Vyne a fascinating microcosm of changing fads and fashions. The house is filled with an eclectic mix of fine furniture, portraits, textiles and sculpture. The attractive gardens and grounds feature an ornamental lake, delightful woodlands and flourishing wetlands, a haven for wildlife and waterfowl which can be observed from the bird hide.

Dr. Webb looks quite fiercely focused in this studio portrait. Perhaps he was pondering serious matters? Or perhaps he just hated having his photograph taken? Either way, we'd love to find out a lot more about Dr. Webb.

Oh, and we have a lovely new photographer to play with today – C. Neville Cook, of Kingstown as was, Dun Laoghaire as is.

The adjacent tiled almshouse building, built around 1714 probably on the site of an earlier chantry house, used to comprise eight tenements under one roof, and in 1830 was occupied by sixteen aged persons

In the background is John Webb's Windmill. Built in 1804, it is a tower mill and is the only remaining windmill in Thaxted. This windmill is the largest and most advanced of all the Thaxted mills and it worked for a hundred years.

The Vyne, North Front by shadow_in_the_water

The Shir brook was transformed into a spectacular lake setting for the north front in the 18th century.

The classical portico was added in 1654 by Inigo Jones's pupil John Webb. In the mid-18th century The Vyne belonged to Horace Walpole's close friend John Chaloner Chute.

Grade I listed. Originally built as a great Tudor 'power house', The Vyne was visited by King Henry VIII on at least three occasions and later became a family home, cherished by the Chute family for more than 350 years.

Greenwich Panorama by Iain

A sweeping view of the East End of London from a position next to the Greenwich Observatory.

At the bottom of the hill is The Queen's House, nowadays part of the National Maritime Museum. Originally part of the Royal Palace of Placentia, it was meant by King James I to be the home of his consort, Anne of Denmark. Inigo Jones was the architect, and construction started in 1616 but the Queen died in 1619 and work was stopped until 10 years later, when King Charles I gave it to his new Queen, Henrietta Maria. Inigo Jones was recalled and the exterior work was completed some six years later. However, the Queen stayed there only briefly, before the start of the Civil War in 1642.

After the Restoration, Charles II had the House enlarged by John Webb in 1662 to provide a residence while the new palace of Placentia was being built, as the original had been badly damaged during the time of the Commonwealth. (This is now the site of the Royal Naval College). In 1690, it became the official residence of the Ranger of Greenwich Park. In 1806 the Naval Asylum School moved into the House; it was linked along the line of the old road to extensions on either side by colonnades in 1816. The school (renamed the Royal Hospital School in 1821) moved out in 1933, and the buildings were opened in 1937 as the National Maritime Museum.

Beyond it can be seen the financial district on the Isle of Dogs, whilst off to the far left can be seen Tower Bridge and St Paul's Cathedral.

Walking alongside the Old Royal Naval College - first past King William Court then past King Charles Court.

I didn't get to walk near the green in the middle, as I would have liked to (after this we headed into town to find a pub to have lunch in, before leaving Greenwich).

All Grade I listed.

At the bottom, near the Thames is King Charles Court, now the Trinity College of Music.

Page from a notebook belonging to Keighley resident John Webb. John sketched and recorded dozens of local stone markers and millstones. This collection dates from 2005 to 2007. Each page includes one or two illustrations with measurements, a date and a geo-location. This page features Cowper's Cross and a milestone marker on Middleton Moor.

The notebook was loaned to Keighley and District Local History Society for scanning in February 2020.
