Chinnor Windmill Chinnor · Oxfordshire · England

Chinnor Windmill was built in 1789 as a post mill for corn milling. The supplied coordinates match the Chinnor mill site rather than Thame. The mill worked until 1923, after which it survived out of use before being pulled down or dismantled in the 1960s.

Its later history is defined by preservation and reconstruction rather than continuous survival in working order. Original parts were retained after dismantling, and the mill was rebuilt using some of that material. Heritage records state that the rebuilt mill stands about 150 yards from its original position.

The structure is especially noted for having three crosstrees and six quarterbars. Restoration work was active by the late twentieth century and continued into the twenty-first century. Between 1998 and 2006 the mill was rebuilt using original parts, and in August 2011 the buck was lifted back onto the trestle.

Photographic records from 2016 and 2017 show the restored post-mill structure, stone floor, main support, tail-wheel track, and windshaft. The sources do not provide a complete record of millers, ownership, or the full machinery arrangement, but they clearly document the main development, operation, dismantling, and reconstruction phases.
