Harbury Windmill Harbury · Warwickshire · England

Harbury Windmill was built in the early nineteenth century, with construction placed between 1802 and 1812. The tower was formed with a lower part of regular coursed limestone and an upper part of brick, giving it a tall tapering profile. The mill stood six storeys high and was fitted with four common sails, staging, an iron-sheeted boat-shaped cap and winding gear. Its working equipment included a windshaft, brake wheel, three pairs of stones and associated machinery.

The mill remained a working corn mill into the twentieth century. Wind working ended in 1911–1912. The sails were removed in the early 1920s, and the stocks were removed in 1934. After wind working had ended, the mill was worked by electricity into the 1950s. Some machinery survived after working ceased. The building was listed at Grade II in 1952. It was later altered and converted as part of a residential complex, with the tower retained as a prominent surviving mill structure in Harbury.
