After three months of extensive refurbishment, Jill Windmill has been repainted thanks to the hard work and dedication of our volunteers!
Work commenced on Saturday 2nd May with the mill's exterior being scraped and washed down before pink and yellow undercoats were applied. The mill was then repainted in its traditional white finish and completed with a gloss topcoat.
The final touches of paint were applied on Saturday 4th July, with scaffolding removed the following week. On 18th July, the Fantail was released to the wind, and by that afternoon the Sweeps were once again turning under wind power, marking the successful completion of the project.
Jill Windmill is OPEN to visitors from 2pm - 5pm on Sunday 2nd August, and then subsequent Sunday afternoons until the end of September.
