A little history...

A windmill half the height of that which we see today was built in the 17th century. From the exterior, a difference in the types of stone can be observed ; inside the windmill, the original slate stair case, the wooden stair case upstairs, and the varyins thicknesses of the walls are all evidence of the windmill’s history.
