Splash Windmill Egham · Surrey · England

Splash Windmill at Wraysbury is a modern mock windmill rather than a former working corn, drainage, or industrial mill. Windmill World identifies it as a residential smock built by Glyn Larcombe in 1996 as a house, styled after Lacey Green mill. The Geograph record gives a closely related construction sequence, stating that construction started in 1995 and was completed in 1997, and that the building was designed and built by Glynn Larcombe in his own rear garden.

That account states that it was inspired by the smock mill at Lacey Green and was partly an expression of admiration for large agricultural buildings and partly a protest against the loss of local heritage in Wraysbury. Windmill World records that the building cost about £45,000 and used recycled timbers, including some from Tilbury docks. The site is therefore a modern architectural and residential response to the windmill tradition, not a preserved mill with a documented milling life.

Later published records show its change into accommodation use. Windmill World records that it was currently run as a guesthouse. A Runnymede Borough Council accommodation list recorded Splash Windmill, The Stable, as self-catering accommodation, with Mrs Sylvia Neal as proprietor, at The Oast Barn, Staines Road, Wraysbury.

Geograph also described it as in use as self-catering rented accommodation. Windmill World records that Splash Windmill appeared in House Beautiful magazine in July 2004 and on Granada TV's 60 Minute Makeover, filmed in September 2004 and aired in February 2005. The building survives on The Green at Wraysbury as a windmill-shaped residential or guest accommodation structure.
