West Wratting Windmill at Mill Cottage West Wratting · Cambridgeshire · England

Windmill at Mill Cottage, West Wratting, is a surviving smock mill with an eighteenth-century date. The listed structure is recorded as a smock mill of 1726, built with brick and timber framing, weatherboarded and tarred, and finished with metal capping. It stands on Mill Road and is associated with the village's former wind-powered corn-milling landscape.

The mill was later adapted with a brick ground stage, a change that gave it a partly tower-mill character while preserving the original smock form above. The listed fabric includes three stages, small modern windows to each stage, and surviving machinery. Inside, two underdriven grinding stones remain, together with the machinery that gives the building much of its technical interest.

The mill's later preservation included the making of new sails and a new tail pole in 1979. This work restored the external windmill profile and helped maintain the structure as a prominent village landmark. The building was upgraded to Grade II* status, reflecting the survival of both fabric and machinery within a rare Cambridgeshire smock-mill example.
