Chesterton Windmill, Historic windmill in Chesterton and Kingston, England.
Built from local limestone with sandstone details, the cylindrical tower rises 36 feet high, supported by six semicircular arches on a circular platform.
Construction of this Grade I listed structure began in 1632 under Sir Edward Peyto, with architectural input from John Stone, a student of Inigo Jones.
The windmill represents traditional English agricultural engineering, demonstrating the advanced milling techniques that sustained rural communities for generations.
During Heritage Open Weekends in spring and autumn, visitors can explore the internal mechanisms by climbing steep stone steps to upper levels.
The mill contains a specialized wind direction indicator that allowed millers to adjust operations without leaving their work stations inside the structure.
