This month a rummage through time. Many old clippings and photos are held within the Trust's archives, including:
Photo 1: Our oldest photo of the Windmill from 1895.
Photo 2: Extract from The Daily Mirror, 8th November, 1934, depicting the Windmill behind the Almshouses. First The Chantry, a low thatched building, was built in the 14th century originally as a Priest's House. The second, the Alms Houses, a tiled building, built in 1714 once occupied by sixteen people -"13 widows, a man, a wife and a maid".

New Window Frames.The Carpenters have displayed quality and craftsmanship in our new and repaired window frames. This included lintel repairs to the window openings ready for window installation.
Handmade Bricks on site. We have replaced a whopping 4,000 bricks at the Windmill so far. Each brick is hand made using wooden moulds, taking on characteristics of the individual maker,something that cannot be replicated by any machine.
