Description
The Windmill is a tower windmill built in the mid-19th century and raised in the late 19th century. It is constructed of red brick, which has a faded colourwash at the base, and features some black brick. The top is made of concrete and has chain railings around its circumference. There is a moulded eaves band made of black brick headers. The windmill has four storeys, including the top storey added in the late 19th century.
On the east side, there is a single segmental arched window opening, with a similar blocked opening above it. The north side features two similar openings, with the upper one being glazed and having glazing bars. The west side has a segmental arched doorway with a plank door, and above it is a single glazed window, with another similar glazed window above that. The south side has no openings. The interior has not been inspected but is reported not to contain any milling machinery.
Local climate
The Windmill sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 96% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 79% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 25 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 73% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
