Croxley Green Windmill, Grade II listed tower mill in Croxley Green, England.

The five-story tower mill features a circular structure with stone walls measuring 22 feet in diameter at ground level, rising prominently against the Hertfordshire sky.

Built around 1860, the mill operated with four patent sails and a boat-shaped cap until the 1880s when strong winds damaged the sails, leading to steam power adoption.

The mill transformed from a grain processing facility to a sawmill, then served as an Air Raid Precautions observation post during World War II.

The structure underwent residential conversion in the 1960s and stands at coordinates 51.646379, -0.45803, accessible through local transportation routes in Hertfordshire.

Three pairs of millstones operated simultaneously during its commercial period, with notable millers including Isaac Watts, Philip Howard, and Hannah Holloway managing operations.
