A not-for-profit organisation and registered charity dedicated to saving our windmill

The windmill at Chishill is one of only eight open trestle post mills in the UK. In 2011 it was in urgent need of restoration to save it from collapse and preserve it for future generations. Thanks to the Great Chishill Windmill Trust it has been saved.

Windmill Open Days recommence every 2nd and 4th Sunday from April. See dates below. Light refreshments are available on the dates indicated.  

Thanks to everybody who came to our recent Craft Fair Windmill weekend. We raised over £2000 to support the windmill. Thanks in particular to Lindsey, Jill, Hazel, Bill and The Elderlys.

We are pleased to announce the winners of our photography competition.

First prize and winning a voucher for a meal at The Pheasant was Paul Ravenscroft with the following picture:

Charles Abbott was second winning a bottle of champagne.

The windmill hosted a drone expert who mapped the windmill and produced an amazing digital 3D model. You can manipulate the image and zoom in and out using your computer controls. Let us know what you think by leaving or emailing us a comment.
