Chinnor Windmill
This is a reconstruction of a post mill that has been moved from across the road where it had been allowed to collapse and its site subsequently built upon. The original possibly dates from 1789 and remained in use until 1923 when it was damaged by strong winds, It was then left to decay and recovered in 1967 when it had to be removed to make way for a housing estate. It has been painstakingly reconstructed but most of the original fabric has had to be replaced.
