Willesborough Windmill is a ‘smock’ mill built in 1869, beside a small miller’s house. The mill used patent shutters instead of sails to turn four millstones, with auxiliary power provided by a steam engine, later an oil engine, and finally by electricity. Visitors can grind their own flour to take away, and children receive a Miller’s Certificate.
