Description
The Windmill Tavern is a windmill, probably built in the late 18th century, that was formerly disused and is now part of a restaurant. It features white painted render on brick and has a wooden cap. The structure is a tapering circular tower with four storeys and a basement. It has segmental-headed windows on all floors: on the northeast side, there are four vertically aligned windows and a basement window offset to the right; on the southwest side, four windows are arranged slightly less regularly; and on the southeast side, there are windows on the first and third floors, along with a doorway on the first floor that opens onto a flat-roofed brick extension of the restaurant. At the ground floor, there are brick corbels that likely supported struts for a former first-floor deck. The windmill is topped with a boat-shaped wooden cap, which has a cross-shaped plate that would have carried sails, although these are now missing as of 1984.
