Old Buckenham Windmill, Tower windmill in Old Buckenham, Norfolk, England.

The brick tower windmill rises across five stories with a large boat-shaped cap measuring 7.3 meters in diameter at its crown.

Built in 1818 for miller John Burlingham, the windmill later became property of Jeremiah James Colman, founder of the famous mustard company.

The Norfolk Windmills Trust maintains this Grade II listed structure as a testament to traditional grain processing methods in East Anglia.

The mill welcomes visitors on specific dates between May and October, with guided tours explaining the mechanics of traditional flour production.

This windmill contains the largest diameter tower and cap of any windmill in England, measuring 8 meters at its base.
