Great Gransden windmill
Great Gransden windmill
A weatherboarded postmill with a double-pitched top. Possibly the oldest windmill surviving in England, one of its beams bears the date 1614 which is supported by dendrochronological evidence. The weatherboarded body and windshaft were renewed in the 19th century and the whole mill restored in 1983.

The mill is listed Grade II* LinkExternal link
