Finchingfield Post Mill: Heritage Open Days
Visit the Grade II listed Finchingfield Post Mill, the oldest windmill in Essex.
Finchingfield Post Mill Heritage Open days.
The oldest windmill in Essex, this Post Mill stands on a hill overlooking Finchingfield, the most photographed village in the county.
The Grade II-listed Post Mill – also known as Duck End Mill and Letch’s Mill – is thought to have been built around 1756. The last of seven mills, it is thought there have been mills in this village since medieval times.
Please note the mill will be open on National Mills Weekend on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 May.
The mill is open thanks to the work of the volunteer group. However, please note that the mill opening is dependent upon the volunteers.
