SP7420 : Windmill Cottage, Quainton
taken 17 years ago, near to Quainton, Buckinghamshire, England
Windmill Cottage, Quainton
Windmill Cottage is on Upper Street at the top of The Green in Quainton. In this view the top of Quainton Windmill can be seen behind the cottage. The tower windmill, built in 1832, is the highest in Buckinghamshire at 75ft 8in, which was made necessary apparently by a requirement that it was built in the lee of Quainton Hill. The mill was abandoned in 1881, but ongoing restoration work since 1970 by volunteers has restored the mill to working order.
