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.

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.
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.
One of Alberta's secret is that we do have a windmill museum. Who'da thunk it? It is located at Etzikom, a tiny community in Southern Alberta. Blink, and you miss it. However, they do have a very nice display of old wind mills on their grounds, those that meant saving labour on the farm. On the webside we read "Located on the Red Coat Trail, is the Etzikom Museum and the Canadian National Historic Windmill Centre. The Centre features outdoor restored examples of windmills encompassing over 200 years of Canadian wind power (particularly water pumpers)."
