Little Hadham Windmill Little Hadham · Hertfordshire · England

Little Hadham Windmill stood at Little Hadham-on-Ash, on the west side of Albury Road. The surviving structure is the red-brick base of a former five-storey smock mill. It is mid eighteenth-century in date, and the listing records deeds from 1748 to 1870. The base is octagonal, with very thick walls that are vertical inside and battered outside. It has two plinth offsets, high openings in the south, north, and east faces, a doorway on the west side, and a line of socket holes for the props of a higher timber staging.

The mill worked as a corn mill and remained in use into the 1930s. It was recorded in drawings and photographs, including an imagined setting painted in the 1930s and a 1981 photograph taken shortly before the fire. The upper part was destroyed by fire in 1981, leaving the masonry base as the principal surviving fabric.

The listed base is now described as burnt out and increasingly overgrown. It no longer retains its smock body, cap, sails, or working machinery, but the surviving brick base preserves important evidence of the mill's scale, staging arrangement, and former industrial character within the Little Hadham landscape.
