We are sad to inform you that Donald Muggeridge, a major figure in the mill world and whose name many of you will recognise, has died.
Donald passed away on 14th April at the age of 97 in San Rafael, California.
Donald enjoyed a lifelong passion for windmills and amassed photographs and other material spanning a century. He will be missed by his friends both in the UK and in the USA, where he settled. He has generously donated part of his collection to the Mills Archive.
Donald lived a full life – if you wish to learn more about his background, you can read the full obituary here.
