STELLING MINNIS WINDMILL

Davison’s mill at Stelling Minnis was built in 1866, replacing an earlier windmill which stood on the same site.
The new smock mill operated for more than 100 years and became the last mill in the county to operate by wind power, ceasing in 1970 on the death of its miller, Alec Davison. Since then it has been cared for by its present owners, Kent County Council, assisted by a group of local volunteers. It has recently been comprehensively restored by millwrights from IJP Building Conservation Ltd as part of the KCC and HLF-funded restoration programme. |
