Clayton Windmills, Grade II listed windmills in Clayton, England.

The Clayton Windmills consist of two structures named Jack and Jill, positioned high above the village of Clayton, seven miles north of Brighton.

Jack Windmill, constructed in 1866 as a five-story tower mill, replaced the original Duncton Mill from 1765, of which only the roundhouse remains.

The site includes a modernist Mill House completed in 1963 for golf writer Henry Longhurst, featuring traditional Sussex mill black-and-white characteristics.

Jill Windmill opens to visitors on Sunday afternoons from May to September, offering tours of the 19th-century machinery and selling stoneground wholegrain flour.

The property received two RIBA awards in 2017 for its conservation work, including an innovative punched-aluminum facade that references agricultural heritage.
