The cap of Wymondham Windmill has been returned to the top of the restored tower to mark the completion of the Living Mill project. We would like to thank everyone who has helped bring this wonderful old building back to life.

The cap of Wymondham Windmill has been returned to the top of the restored tower to mark the completion of the Living Mill project. We would like to thank everyone who has helped bring this wonderful old building back to life.

A team of skilled volunteers and craftspeople have been turning back the effects of over 30 years of Leicestershire weather which have taken their toll on this amazing building.

One of the many tasks that bring our wonderful mill back to her back to full glory is a fresh coat of whitewash inside.
