Aythorpe Roding Windmill, Post windmill in Aythorpe Roding, England.
The wooden structure rises above the Essex countryside with four double patent sails mounted on a cast-iron windshaft and features a single-story roundhouse at its base.
Built around 1779, as evidenced by inscriptions in its timber, the mill operated continuously until 1937 and underwent major modernization between 1860 and 1868.
The mill represents traditional English milling techniques, demonstrating the evolution of agricultural technology from manual to mechanized grain processing methods through the centuries.
Visitors can reach the windmill via the B184 road, one mile north of Leaden Roding, with parking available in a lay-by opposite the access lane.
The mill body measures 21 feet by 12 feet in plan, making it the largest remaining post mill structure in Essex county.
