Stock Windmill, Tower windmill in Stock, United Kingdom
The five-story brick tower windmill rises 52 feet high and contains four patent sails with a boat-shaped cap adjusted by a six-bladed fantail.
Essex County Council purchased the windmill in 1945, leading to restoration efforts in 1991 with support from English Heritage and local organizations.
The mill represents traditional grain processing methods, with three pairs of millstones positioned on different floors to transform wheat into flour.
Visitors can explore the windmill during open days on the second Sunday of each month from April through September between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM.
The mill incorporated both steam and internal combustion engines during its operation, allowing grain processing to continue even without wind power.
