Balsall Common Mill, Berkswell, Grade II* listed windmill in Balsall Common, England

The four-sailed tower mill stands tall with its brick construction and wooden boat-shaped cap, featuring an endless chain winding mechanism for operation.

Built in 1826 on the site of a former post mill, the structure operated until 1948 when the last miller, John Hammond, ceased the milling activities.

The mill represents the agricultural and industrial development of Warwickshire, demonstrating the traditional methods of grain processing in rural England.

Located at coordinates 52.3808 latitude and -1.63544 longitude, the mill opens to visitors one day per month between Easter and October.

The structure underwent modifications in 1927 to incorporate diesel engine power, allowing continued operation during periods without sufficient wind.
