Windmill Works Update

Work on the upper part of the tower of Heage Windmill has now finished and the scaffolding has been removed.

There are a few adjustments that need attention but milling should begin again in the near future, good wind permitting.

The orange patch is weather protection for a window, where the frame has been removed for repair work.

The lower part of the tower will be repaired and repointed next Spring.

Thank you to Michelle for the pictures.

Heage Windmill is open every Saturday and Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday from April to the end of October, 11am to 4pm. For Admission Prices, Details of Group and School Visits and Where to Find us, click here >

In the early 19th century, Britain had 10,000 windmills. Heage Windmill experienced fluctuating fortunes until the Heage Windmill Society was formed in 1995. To discover Heage Windmill's history and how it was restored to working order, click here >

All our flour is stoneground at the windmill from wheat grown in this country and can normally be bought at the mill during visiting times, and at Bakewell Farmers' Markets every month. For more about our flour, click here >
