Old Windmills in Britain Attract Conservation Attention
Over the past year the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings highlighted windmills across Britain. Chatley Mill in Sussex has been restored with funds from Mrs. Kimmins and now serves as a dwelling. Outwood Mill in Surrey gained nails from a demolished Norfolk mill. Old Moreton Mill in Essex was weatherproofed and repainted. Estimates say nearly 1000 windmills remain as picturesque countryside landmarks, many needing repair or derelict. A claimed oldest mill in Bours MUN Cambridgeshire dates to 1636, but a 1571 tower mill was found in Sark Channel Islands, owned by the Dame of Sark with two-century-old repair receipts.
