Ashton Windmill, Historic windmill in Chapel Allerton, England.
The stone tower windmill rises 7.5 meters high with walls 60 centimeters thick and features sails spanning 13 meters across the structure.
Construction of the current windmill started in the 18th century, with major updates in 1900 including machinery from the demolished Moorlinch mill and iron reinforcements.
The Grade II* listed building represents the agricultural heritage of Somerset, connecting modern residents to traditional grain processing methods of past generations.
Bristol City Museum transferred ownership to Sedgemoor District Council, which maintains the structure through volunteer support and periodic restoration projects.
The millstones, measuring 1.2 meters in diameter, ground both wheat for human consumption and beans for cattle feed during its operational period.
