Description

The Windmill at Brill was built around 1680. It is built on a central post so that the whole body of the mill can be turned to face the wind. The round house at the base of the mill is a much later addition; the first roundhouse being built in 1865, the current one being built in 1948. The mill was last used for milling barley in 1915.

The landscape of deep hollows around the mill are the result of clay extraction for the production of bricks and pottery, which began around 1000 years ago
