Once a village windmill, standing 1 mile north of the village of Bradwell, this mill now finds itself part of Milton Keynes new town. This fine stone tower mill stands on a mound of a former post mill. In 1970, two of the four common sails had been broken across the stocks. In 1974-75 it was restored by the Milton Keynes Corporation. It is Grade II Listed.
