O is for Outwood Windmill

Outwood Windmill is Britain’s oldest working windmill. Listed Grade 1 by English Heritage, it has won numerous awards over the years and has appeared in a number of television programmes. It was built in 1665 by Thomas Budgen of Nutfield, and is what is known as a Post Mill; the whole body, weighing around 25 tons, rotates on a central post made of a single enormous oak tree, to bring the mill round into the wind.
