Wilton Windmill
The
Wilton windmill
is a five floor brick tower
mill
with a round house located near the villages of
Wilton
and
Great Bedwyn
in the southern
English
county of
Wiltshire
. It was built in
1821
because the construction of the
Kennet and Avon Canal
had included the
canalisation
of the
River Bedwyn
which had previously powered several water mills in the area. The windmill was in use for a century, into the
1920s
. In
1971
it was purchased by the Wiltshire County Council who leased it to the
Wiltshire Historic Buildings Trust
. The trust restored the mill to working condition, and by the end of the summer in
1976
the windmill was once again making flour.
