The Windmill That Only Appears In Summer! | Chesterton Windmill (2024)

Join us for a look at the history of Chesterton Windmill near Leamington Spa.
The windmill is highly unusual not just in structure, but because the sails are only attached during the summer months.
The Windmill has had its fair share of ups and downs, but the site is now a much looked after and loved landmark in Warwickshire.
With special thanks to OurWarwickshire for the historic photos used, and to Andy Peacock & ‪@Crane0114‬ for the music created. Also thanks to DeFacto for the use of the fabulous summer image in the thumbnail.

except the sails have not been attached for several years having been sent away to be rebuilt. Plus the windshaft needs to be replaced, the wood for which was to be supplied from Ukraine, but due to the current situation has been delayed.
