Wilton Windmill, Brick tower windmill in Grafton, England

The five-story windmill features a brick tower structure, aluminum hemispherical cap, and four sails, two of which contain twenty-one adjustable shades.

Built in 1821 to replace water mills affected by the Kennet and Avon Canal construction, the windmill operated until the 1920s before its 1970s restoration.

The windmill maintains traditional flour production methods, using two pairs of millstones including French burrs to create locally sourced grain products.

Visitors can purchase freshly ground flour produced at the mill, which continues to use wind power for grain processing through its mechanical systems.

The structure contains original milling equipment including an iron vertical shaft, brake wheel, and specialized sack hoist mechanisms on different floors.
