Chesterton Windmill is a 17th-century cylindric stone tower windmill with an arched base, located outside the village of Chesterton, Warwickshire. It is a Grade I listed building and a striking landmark in South-East Warwickshire.

The windmill is one of Warwickshire's most famous landmarks. It stands on a hilltop overlooking the village of Chesterton for nearly 350 years. It is near the Roman Fosse Way and about five miles (8 km) south-east of Warwick. It was built around 1632-1633, probably by Sir Edward Peyto, who was Lord of the Chesterton Manor House. At this time John Stone, a pupil of Inigo Jones, was in Chesterton designing the new Manor House and he probably helped with the windmill as well. Sir Edward was a Mathematician and Astrologer and probably his own architect to the windmill, but although claims have been made that the tower was originally built as an observatory, the estate accounts now at Warwick Record Office show that it has always been a windmill, making it the earliest tower mill in England to retain any of its working parts.

421: The mill to the Broekgouw is octagonal windmill with a flight of 22 meters. The mill was by all odds set up in the 17th century. The fuselage and the cap are with sheer cover. In former days he drained the south polder.

421: De molen aan het Broekgouw is een achtkante binnenkruier met een vlucht van 22 meter. De molen werd naar alle waarschijnlijkheid in de 17e eeuw opgericht. De romp en de kap zijn met riet bedekt. Vroeger bemaalde hij de Zuidpolder.

Windmill at shrivenham, by swindon wiltshire

Tuxford windmill is situated just off the old Great North Road (now the B1164) north of Tuxford. The Windmill Tearoom is adjacent. On the day of my visit there was a stiff breeze blowing and the sails were going round at a fair old rate.

A working windmill built 1797

Restored in 2002

It is a Grade II* listed tower mill with six sails and a fantail and built of local

ironstone and is over two hundred years old. Standing on the brow of a hill it

overlooks the village of Nether Heage like a silent sentinel.

Families still live in these--and there's a very, very long waitlist if you want one of your own.

This windmill always looks great in the sunlight but, for some reason, I find it hard to do it justice. This shot was taken on glorious sunny day in March. However it was bitterly cold.
