Chesterton Windmill is just off the Fosse Way about five miles to the south of Leamington Spa/Warwick in Warwickshire. The mill was originally built in the years 1632-1633 and remained in use until about 1910 when its machinery ceased to work. It was restored from 1965-1971. The mill is set on six pillars linked by semi-circular arches. Originally there was a central timber structure within this open space, containing a staircase and storage area. The mill machinery itself is set on two floors inside the stone tower – the lower houses the two pairs of millstones and the upper the actual driving mechanism. The sails have a 60 foot span and carried 450 square feet of canvas.
