Description

The Windmill is an early 19th-century windmill located on the north side of Main Street in Blidworth. It is constructed of red brick, with some parts rendered and tarred. The building currently lacks a roof and features a low ashlar plinth. It has a circular plan and stands three storeys tall. The ground floor includes two doorways and two window openings, while the upper floors have four window openings on the second storey and two window openings on the top floor. Originally, all window openings were fitted with glazing bar casements.

Local climate

The Windmill sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 83% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 89% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 39 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 74% of listed buildings. Of these, 19 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.
