Windmill, Organic.
Description
One of the few six-sailed mills remaining in England. Built in 1877 in Lincolnshire style. It is not exceptionally tall, containing only six floors above ground. It worked until 1954, latterly with four sails and was then allowed to become derelict. It was taken over by English Heritage who restored it in 1970 to 'static' condition. In 1981 they got the mill into full working order.
