CHESTERTON WINDMILL. A cold and frosty morning.

            This Windmill is one of Warwickshire's famous landmarks.
It was built around 1632-33 by Sir Edward Peyto (Lord of Chesterton manor).
Built from local limestone it is supported by six semicircular arches on piers.
The mill has undergone 3 major reconstructions:-
1 in 1776 when the shaft was modified
1 in 1860 when the cap was altered
and 1 in 1969 when larger reconstruction works began under the control of Warwickshire County Council (W.C.C) which finished in 1971.
This mill is the oldest tower mill in England to retain any of its working parts.
