Pitstone Windmill, Post mill in Aylesbury Vale, England.
The timber structure of Pitstone Windmill rises 20 feet tall with four sails and contains two floors dedicated to grain processing operations.
The date 1627 carved into the framework makes this windmill one of the earliest documented examples of agricultural engineering in the British Isles.
The National Trust maintains this Grade II listed building as a representation of traditional English milling techniques and agricultural development.
Visitors can access the windmill during summer Sunday afternoons through June, July, and August via the B488 Upper Icknield Way.
Dendrochronological studies revealed that some timbers in the structure came from trees felled in winter 1595, indicating earlier construction phases.
