Some 24 members visited the windmill on Sunday 16 September and spent two hours being shown round the mill.
Built in approximately 1760, it is a large post mill on 4 floors, now restored to working order with fascinating wooden and iron machinery and fantail. Privately owned, the mill was leased to the Essex County Council in 1940 and who are the only Local authority in England and Wales to employ a full time Millwright to look after the mills in their care.
