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.
Lytham's best known landmark, the Windmill, contains a seasonal museum with a series of exhibits focussed on the "History of Mills and Milling" and the "Heritage of Lytham St Annes and the Fylde Area".
I took this picture of Chesterton Windmill near Warwick on a surprisingly pleasant February evening just as the sun was disappearing over the horizon. The roof of the windmill was also illuminated slightly by the moon which added an eerie glow to it. The windmill is a 17th century grade I listed building and is set in a beautiful area which will hopefully provide more great photo opportunities over the coming months!

Some one told me that these provide 12 % of the power... look at the telephone poles to get a feel for how big they are..
Along with the Cathedaral,the windmill dominates the town of Ciutadella

The ship arrived for a day-excursion at the island of Rhodes. We spent a nice time hiking through the old city and around the harbor.
