Bragg's Mill

The windmill features four patent sails mounted on a wooden windshaft, with two double-shuttered sails and two single-shuttered sails reaching 34 feet in height.

William Haylock constructed this mill in 1757, which operated as a corn mill with two pairs of millstones until its closure in 1912.

The Ashdon Windmill Trust, formed by local residents in 1999, maintains the structure as a testament to traditional grain processing methods.

The mill opens to visitors every second Sunday of the month from April, allowing exploration of its historical milling equipment and architectural features.

The mill's machinery includes a modified 7-foot-4-inch clasp arm wooden head wheel, transformed from its initial compass arm configuration.
