Maud Foster Windmill, Grade I listed windmill in Boston, England.

The Maud Foster Windmill reaches 80 feet in height and features an octagonal tower constructed from gault brick with Yorkshire sash windows and five sails.

Built in 1819 by Norman and Smithson for Isaac and Thomas Reckitt, the windmill cost £1826-10s-6d and served as a center for grain processing in Lincolnshire.

The mill maintains traditional flour production methods, demonstrating historical agricultural practices and industrial heritage through its operational machinery and grinding stones.

Visitors can explore seven floors of the working mill, purchase freshly ground flour from the shop, and access the wooden balcony for views of Boston.

The structure contains three sets of grinding stones and retains its original floor beams and machinery from 1819, including uncommon cast iron components.
