Quainton Windmill, Grade II* listed windmill in Quainton, England
The red brick tower windmill reaches a height of 70 feet with six floors and features four patent sails mounted on its white cap.
James Anstiss constructed this windmill between 1830 and 1832, operating it until 1881 when a steam engine replaced wind power for grain milling.
The Quainton Windmill Society formed in 1974 demonstrates local commitment to preserving industrial heritage through their 23-year restoration project.
Visitors can explore the windmill's interior, machinery, and milling processes every Sunday from March through October during scheduled opening hours.
The structure maintains its original internal mechanisms, including the main spindle, drive wheels for three grindstones, and flour-dressing equipment from the 1830s.
