Mill:

Farncoombe Windmill, Lambourn

A wind-powered corn mill in the historic county of Berkshire, England.

This mill was in existence by 1761, although records indicate earlier windmills in Lambourn from 1273 onwards. The mill was probably a post or smock mill. It is shown on the 1882 OS map (surveyed 1878), but had gone by the 1900 map (revised 1898).
