Chillenden Windmill, Post mill in Chillenden, Kent, England

The white-painted windmill features four spring sails mounted on a cast-iron windshaft and contains two pairs of millstones for grain processing.

Built by Holman's of Canterbury in 1868, this structure replaced an earlier post mill and incorporates materials from the previous construction on the same site.

The Friends of Chillenden Windmill organization maintains this Grade II listed monument, preserving traditional milling techniques for future generations.

Visitors can explore the windmill every Sunday and bank holiday from May through August between 2:30 PM and 4:30 PM with free admission.

Among the four remaining post mills in Kent, Chillenden Windmill stands as the only one featuring an open trestle construction method.
