A glimpse of Windmill Farm
A gap in the hedgerow reveals one of two converted barns, with the old farmhouse to the right. Some sizeable farm buildings are hidden. Inigo Jones's Chesterton Windmill looks on from Windmill Hill. Photo taken from a little northeast of the point where the bridleway clips the corner of the square.

Chesterton Mill - Ground Level
The mill is raised off the ground on six columns with connecting arches. Stairs give access directly to the Stone Floor. Until 1930 there was a square timber structure from ground level to the underside of the Stone Floor used for grain storage but removed to prevent vandalism.

Chesterton Windmill
Seen from the south. This is sometimes claimed to be England's most unusual windmill since it was designed as an architectural landmark as much as a functioning mill. The current machinery dates from 1860 and was used until about 1910 before gradually becoming derelict. The mill was restored to working order between 1965 and 1971 and is now owned by Warwickshire County Council. Open days are held for members of the public to visit the mill, although these had to cancelled during the early part of 2001 when the windmill lost two of its sails in a storm. As can be seen from the picture these have now been repaired.

Chesterton Windmill - without sails
In an unfortunate accident during an open day on September 2006 one of the sails fell off, slightly injuring a woman standing nearby. The rest of the sails have since been removed for investigation and repair.
