Bembridge Windmill, Grade I listed windmill in Bembridge, England.
Bembridge Windmill is a four-story tower mill with a boat-shaped cap and four sails that power two pairs of millstones for grinding grain. The building displays the typical structure of an English windmill built for processing grain in the community.
Construction took place around 1700 and wind power operated the mill until 1913, when operations shifted to mechanical means. Animal feed processing continued for a period after the windmill fell out of use.
The painter J.M.W. Turner painted this windmill in 1795, documenting its importance in the landscape at that time.
The windmill opens seasonally from March through November and charges a modest entry fee. Expect to climb several flights of stairs to see the interior workings and upper levels of the structure.
This is the only remaining windmill on the Isle of Wight and retains most of its original mechanical parts from the 1700s. The interior reveals technical details and craftsmanship visitors cannot find elsewhere on the island.
