Description
Fenney Windmill is a mid-19th century windmill constructed of red brick. It features a wooden ogee domical cap topped with a metal ball finial. The structure is a four-storey conical tower with a diagonally-set brick dentil cornice. Of the original four sails, two remain, along with a fantail. The windmill has 20th-century windows, and a 20th-century house partially surrounds the mill to the south, with a large 20th-century French window projection on the west side.
