Close to where my parents live is a the village of Mountnessing. Located just of its main street is the Mountnessing Windmill.
It is a Grade II listed building that has been restored to full working order. It is also the nearest mill in Essex to London.
The current windmill was built in 1804 and historic records indicate that there was a mill on this site since 1477.
Although it has been closed to where i lived i have never paid it a visit.So on my next visit to the UK i will have to find time to visit it.
The Mill is now owned by Essex County Council and Friends of Mountnessing Windmill.
It is open from the third Sunday in the month from April to September from 2pm – 5pm.
