John Webb's Mill, Thaxted, Grade II* listed tower mill in Thaxted, England.

The red brick structure rises 54 feet high with thick walls reaching four feet at the base and features a domed cap with an eight-blade fantail.

John Webb, a local farmer and landowner, constructed this mill in 1804 using timber from nearby farms and bricks produced in the Chelmer Valley.

The windmill houses a rural museum on its lower floors containing agricultural artifacts that showcase the milling traditions of Essex County.

The windmill opens for visitors during Sunday afternoons and Bank Holidays from May through September, with additional visits possible through scheduled appointments.

The mill contains three pairs of operational millstones measuring 5 feet, 4 feet 6 inches, and 4 feet 3 inches in diameter.
