Burnham Overy Staithe Windmill, Grade II* listed tower windmill in Burnham Overy Staithe, England

The six-story brick tower windmill stands tall with a black base, white ogee cap, and four Double Patent sails overlooking the Norfolk coast.

Edmund Savory constructed the windmill in 1816, operating it until his death in 1827, after which his son John continued the milling operations.

The National Trust maintains this structure as part of England's industrial heritage, preserving its architectural features and historical significance for future generations.

The windmill functions as a self-catering holiday accommodation managed by the National Trust, with capacity for nineteen guests across four floors.

The structure served as inspiration for the silo design in the 2014 Japanese animated film 'When Marnie Was There.'
