The John Webb Windmill

Number Nine of 23 pictures in this Gallery

The John Webb Windmill, is the third in the trio of must see first attractions. A short, but windy, walk from the Church, between the Almshouses and “The Chantry”, along Mill Row to the reach the Windmill which also strikes its presence on the landscape. At was fully restored to working order and it is a well worth a climb up the winding steps to view to workings inside and the view outside.

On Easter Monday 2010 disaster struck when one of the sails broke off and fell into the side of the mill then to the ground. At this time temporary arrangements are being made to make the area safe and full repairs will be arranged as soon as possible.
