Cromer Windmill, Ardeley, Post windmill in Ardeley, England

The white weatherboarded structure stands on an octagonal red brick roundhouse with an ogee-shaped cap and features a timber frame construction.

Built around 1720 on a site where earlier mills existed since 1192, the current structure operated continuously until its closure in 1923.

The mill represents agricultural processing methods from the 18th century, when grain grinding formed an essential part of local food production.

Visitors can access the windmill from mid-May to mid-September during afternoon hours, with group tours available by appointment throughout the year.

The structure contains the only remaining post-mill machinery in Hertfordshire, including two stones positioned on the upper floor with cast iron gearing.
