Description
The Windmill is a tower windmill that has been converted into a house, dating from around 1820. It is constructed of brick and has a rendered finish. The building stands three storeys high and features a restored ogee cap. Although the sails and fantail have been removed, the machinery in the cap remains intact. The openings have been altered in the 20th century.
Local climate
The Windmill sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 80% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 60% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.
