Stocks Mill Windmill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stocks Mill Windmill is a windmill at Wittersham on the Isle of Oxney, in Kent. It is surrounded by the private gardens of Stocks Mill House. Stocks Mill is a post mill, the largest in Kent, with a roundhouse of tarred brick under a sloping wooden felted roof.
Probably built around 1781, it was named Stocks after the village stocks that stood nearby. The mill operated for 120 years up to the beginning of the 20th century. No mill machinery remains but there is a well-preserved roundhouse.
The mill has recently undergone a further major renovation by Kent County Council, with help from the National Lottery and it was reopened to the public in 2004.
