In Windmill Close at the top of St Martin's Hill stands Quern's Windmill. A tower mill, built in 1816. Constructed of red brick, now rendered under a weatherboarded cap. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1242174 Canterbury is a small historic city on the River Stour in Kent, some 54 miles southeast of London. Occupied since prehistoric times, it became an important Roman city. In 672, the see of Canterbury gained authority over the entire English Church. After the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket at the cathedral in 1170, pilgrims from all parts of Christendom came to visit his shrine until the Dissolution. Today, Canterbury is a popular tourist destination and one of the most-visited cities in the United Kingdom. The city has a substantial student population, with four university campuses.

The long distance path goes along the avenue, heading out of Canterbury.

Disused as a windmill but looks like it has been converted as a house.

This structure is of late C12 origin and is not what one expects to find just off a select close in a Canterbury suburb. It is situated at the point where several streams at the boundary of the Thanet Sands and Chalk join up after being channelled through the four conduits seen here. Their waters then descended by gravity to St Augustine’s Abbey at the foot of the hill. See http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/conduit-house/history/ for further details.
