Coleshill Windmill Coleshill · Buckinghamshire · England

Coleshill Windmill stands on Windmill Hill in the village of Coleshill, Buckinghamshire. Historic England records the official listed name as Coleshill Windmill, while the Mills Archive uses the alternative name Grove's Mill. Local history sources state that Coleshill Windmill and the adjacent two-storey farmhouse were built in 1856 by the Grove family of Penn on land formerly belonging to Bowers Farm.

The millwrights are identified as Holmans of Canterbury, and Buckinghamshire heritage records describe the tower as a typical Kentish design in its proportions. The mill was a brick tower mill. Local description records thick first-storey walls supporting a stone first floor and a blocked doorway that formerly led to an exterior gallery around the tower.

Above the first floor the tower tapered inward toward the cap. The mill had four patent sails and worked as a corn mill until 1903. After working use ended it was converted to domestic use as Windmill House.

Historic England listed the building at Grade II on 22 December 1958 and amended the entry in 1984. The statutory description records an 1856 brick tower mill with a weatherboarded cap, stumps of sails only and the machinery removed. Buckinghamshire heritage records also note that the fantail was damaged and the gallery had gone.

A later Coleshill local history note records that the windmill had been without sails for many years until Mr and Mrs Dawson put them back without canvas in the mid 1980s. The same account states that the winding gear remained intact, but that there was no longer any machinery inside the tower, so a return to milling was not possible. The building survives as a converted landmark within the village.
