Skelton Windmill

Skelton Windmill is a windmill dated 1822, constructed from coursed squared limestone and featuring wrought-iron railings. It stands seven storeys tall, although the sails are missing. On the west side, there is a flight of ten steps leading to a raised entrance, which has a 20th-century door and the date '1822' incised on the lintel. Above and to the right of the entrance is a blocked doorway. This side of the windmill has four tiers of small square windows, with a flat lintel on the lowest window and flat arches on the upper three, all featuring slightly projecting stone sills and either four-pane or 20th-century two-pane frames.

At the second-storey level, two rows of socket holes indicate where a former external platform was located on the north and western sides, which provided access to the sails. The north side has three tiers of windows, including an upper floor loading door, while the east side has seven tiers of windows, with the two lowest having lintels and the remainder featuring flat arches. The top of the windmill has a railing above a projecting band.

Inside, the basement contains two original timber pillars that support the upper floors, although the interior was not examined during the resurvey. The windmill lacks its cap and sails, along with the tail pole that would have turned the sails into the wind, but it remains one of the most complete windmills still standing in the county. The railings at the top suggest that it may have been used as a viewing tower after milling operations ceased.
