Pitstone Windmill

Pitstone Windmill stands in a large field near the parish boundary of Ivinghoe and Pitstone in Buckinghamshire. It is now owned by the National Trust. It is thought to have been first built circa 1627 as this date is carved on part of the framework of the windmill. This is the earliest date to be found on any windmill in the British Isles. Such a structure would have had to have frequent repairs made to it, so it is quite possible the mill predates 1627.

A wonderful old windmill and a terrific shot Roger. That is really old, - the windmill closest to us, the Ashton Windmill is 18th century so practically a new build by comparison!!!

Your link made me laugh - that video is hilarious so thank you for the giggle.

Have a lovely weekend
