Bocking Windmill - inside the roundhouse
This is a Grade I Listed weatherboarded post mill on a two storey brick roundhouse. It dates from c1680 and was moved to its current location in 1830 when the round house was added. It was handed over to the Urban District Council for preservation in 1929. The buck is now fixed and no longer revolves. The access to the buck is from the roundhouse - an arrangement from the preservation era.
This shows the inserted staircase entering the bottom of the buck.
