The tower corn mill worked in conjunction with a nearby watermill.
Site overview
Westbury Windmill is the former Vennington Mill at Westbury. Specialist mill records place it at the supplied coordinates and identify it as a tower corn mill. The mill worked in conjunction with a nearby watermill, indicating a paired milling arrangement at Vennington.
The Shropshire windmill list records Westbury or Vennington Mill on an 1808 map. Modern photographic records from 2011 show the surviving windmill remains. The accessible evidence establishes the tower-mill type, corn-milling function, association with a nearby watermill, and continued survival as remains, but it does not provide a detailed structural description, ownership history, machinery inventory, final working date, or statutory listing record.

History
Westbury Windmill, also recorded as Vennington Mill, stands at Westbury and matches the supplied coordinates. The mill was a tower corn mill. Specialist records identify the site at 52.68018, -2.9816 and state that it worked in conjunction with a nearby watermill.
The wider Shropshire windmill list records Vennington Mill at Westbury on an 1808 map. Later photographic material from 2011 records Vennington windmill surviving as a visible structure. The consulted sources do not identify the original builder, exact construction date, millers, cap and sail arrangement, internal machinery, final working date, or later conservation history.
No statutory listing has been identified in the consulted records. The positive evidence is therefore concentrated on the site identity, its corn-milling function, its paired relationship with a nearby watermill, and the survival of tower-mill remains at Westbury.
