Ovenden's Mill, Historic windmill in Willingdon and Jevington, England
This four-story tower mill features a domed cap with a fantail mechanism and contains three pairs of millstones for grain processing.
Built in 1817, the mill operated continuously until 1943 with traditional wind power, then switched to electric motor operation until 1965.
The structure stands as a testament to English agricultural methods, demonstrating the traditional milling techniques used for grain processing.
While the main tower remains closed, visitors can explore the milling museum during specific Open Days announced through social media channels.
The mill maintains its original wooden Brake Wheel and incorporates both overdrift and underdrift mechanisms for operating different millstone pairs.
