Rock Mill, Grade II listed windmill in Washington, England

The Rock Mill structure stands on a single-story base with three additional floors and features four patent sails with three pairs of millstones inside.

Built in 1823, the windmill operated until World War I, when it underwent conversion to residential space in 1919, incorporating machinery as interior elements.

British composer John Ireland selected this converted windmill as his residence from 1953 until his death in 1962, adding musical heritage to its history.

The mill's location at coordinates 50.911692, -0.396644 provides visitors access to explore the architectural features of this Grade II listed structure.

The mill retains a beehive cap that was controlled by a fantail system, demonstrating engineering methods from the early nineteenth century.
