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.

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.

This windmill has a personal resonance with me but In a rare case a darker glum image gives this picture and building something. I hope to return in future and take some happier pictures of this.

One of UK's oldest windmills near Tring. I will make a point of going back when the corn fields are grown and I can catch a sunset. For this shot it was a bland day with very little life in the sky so I tried a 3 minute exposure using a 10 stop ND filter and converted to B&W.
