Brill Windmill - stone nut
Image: © Chris Allen Taken: 15 May 2016
This is a post mill with a round house, four common sails and winding by tailpole. Thought to be of late 17th century origin with later additions. Restored in 1948 and 2009 but no longer workable. This shows the cast iron stone nut that meshes with the wooden great spur wheel and drives one set of stones underdrift.
