Wilton Windmill
A 5 story brick tower built in 1821 to replace the five water mills made redundant when the Kennet & Avon Canal took their water.
The fantail causes the supporting cap to turn to make the most of the available wind.
Restored in the 1970’s it is still operated by volunteers, and produced small batches of wholemeal flour.
