About this book

"Delightful little book"

Windmills have been a loved part of the British countryside for generations. Many have been lost as there usefulness diminished.
The Swaffham Prior Smock Tower Mill is one of only three remaining vertically boarded windmills in England
This is a tale of an unloved Windmill, its history, and its sad decline to ruin. Then a l argely pictorial account of how it was saved from destruction and eventually restored to much of its former glory.
