Thaxted Windmill is a grade II listed tower mill on the edge of the historic hilltop town of Thaxted, about 6 miles south east of Saffron Walden. The mill stands 48 feet high, and is made of red brick, with four wooden sails. The mill was erected in 1804 on land owned by John Webb, a successful businessman who owned a number of properties locally, including a brick and tile work, and the local Swan Inn. There were 4 other mills in Thaxted at the time, but these were traditional post mills, whereas Webb's Mill was built to a tower design (a post mill rotates the entire body of the structure around a central column, while a tower mill rotates a moveable cap to which the sails are attatched). The family of millers who worked the mill were the Lowe family, and so the building is sometimes referred to as Lowe's Mill. Interestingly, one of the recent leaders of the John Webb’s Windmill Trust that runs the mill is a direct descendent of the Lowe family. The building material was local brick, fired just half a mile away, and there were 3 sets of millstones. The mill was in operation for just over a century, but by 1907 it was uneconomic to keep open. The advent of efficient steam engines made wind power less appealling and more costly. #red #windmill #sunset #uk #britain #england ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6084872/5c112281-cd03-430e-b603-f1b719f7237d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Thaxted ![Abandoned mill at Tilty, Essex, England - overgrown mill race at the west](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/4358/d998fc10-815b-4ea5-8464-9d8392f78052.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) [Photo](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0) by [Acabashi](//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Acabashi) ([Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0)) ### Tilty - Cities near Great Easton - Places of interest [Dunmow](https://expedia.co.uk/Dunmow.dx4358)[Broxted](https://expedia.co.uk/Broxted.dx182473)[Thaxted](https://expedia.co.uk/Thaxted.dx6084872)[Tilty](https://expedia.co.uk/Tilty.dx6333041) - [Imperial War Museum Duxford ](https://expedia.co.uk/Imperial-War-Museum-Duxford-Cambridge.d6193403.Attraction) - [Audley End House ](https://expedia.co.uk/Audley-End-House-Saffron-Walden.d6081347.Attraction) - [Hylands House and Park ](https://expedia.co.uk/Hylands-House-And-Park-Chelmsford.d6081393.Attraction) - [Chelmsford City Racecourse ](https://expedia.co.uk/Chelmsford-City-Racecourse-Chelmsford.d553248634855573695.Attraction) - [Sawston Hall ](https://expedia.co.uk/Sawston-Hall-Cambridge.d6087611.Attraction) - [Leez Priory ](https://expedia.co.uk/Leez-Priory-Chelmsford.d553248634855571389.Attraction) - [Mountfitchet Castle ](https://expedia.co.uk/Mountfitchet-Castle-Stansted.d6081403.Attraction) - [Hedingham Castle ](https://expedia.co.uk/Hedingham-Castle-Halstead.d6081387.Attraction) - [Chelmsford Cathedral ](https://expedia.co.uk/Chelmsford-Cathedral-Chelmsford.d6081361.Attraction) - [Hatfield Forest Country Park ](https://expedia.co.uk/Hatfield-Forest-Country-Park-Bishops-Stortford.d6260782.Attraction) - [Forrester Park Golf Club ](https://expedia.co.uk/Forrester-Park-Golf-Club-Maldon.d553248621532509180.Attraction) - [Gainsborough's House ](https://expedia.co.uk/Gainsboroughs-House-Sudbury.d6094519.Attraction) - [Market Square ](https://expedia.co.uk/Market-Square-Saffron-Walden.d6162692.Attraction) - [Lee Valley Park ](https://expedia.co.uk/Lee-Valley-Park-Broxbourne.d553248621561941577.Attraction) - [House on the Hill Toy Museum ](https://expedia.co.uk/House-On-The-Hill-Toy-Museum-Stansted.d6274432.Attraction) - [St John the Baptist Monastery ](https://expedia.co.uk/St-John-The-Baptist-Monastery-Maldon.d553248621532509181.Attraction) - [Bishop's Stortford Golf Club ](https://expedia.co.uk/Bishops-Stortford-Golf-Club-Bishops-Stortford.d6260602.Attraction) - [Gog Magog Golf Club ](https://expedia.co.uk/Gog-Magog-Golf-Club-Cambridge.d553248621563229023.Attraction) - [Kelvedon Hatch ](https://expedia.co.uk/Kelvedon-Hatch-Brentwood.d6081395.Attraction) - [Hanningfield Reservoir ](https://expedia.co.uk/Hanningfield-Reservoir-England.d553248621532509041.Attraction) - [Bond Street ](https://expedia.co.uk/Bond-Street-Chelmsford.d553248633900157742.Attraction) - [Bridge End Gardens ](https://expedia.co.uk/Bridge-End-Gardens-Saffron-Walden.d6162684.Attraction) - [Kelvedon Hatch Secret Nuclear Bunker ](https://expedia.co.uk/Kelvedon-Hatch-Secret-Nuclear-Bunker-Brentwood.d553248621532508926.Attraction) - [Clare Castle Country Park ](https://expedia.co.uk/Clare-Castle-Country-Park-Sudbury.d553248621532509321.Attraction) - [The Common ](https://expedia.co.uk/The-Common-Saffron-Walden.d6162690.Attraction) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save on select hotels when you book in the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
