EnglandsBuildings's video: Stembridge Tower Mill Somerset 31 05 12

@Stembridge Tower Mill (Somerset) 31.05.12
Stembridge Tower Mill in High Ham, Somerset, England, is the last remaining thatched windmill in England. The mill is a grade II* listed building. The stone tower mill was built in 1822 with four floors and a thatched "cap". A steam engine was installed in 1894, and became the mill's sole source of power after a storm damaged it in 1897 or 1898. Commercial use ended in 1908. The mill is now owned by The National Trust. In 2009, it underwent a £100,000 restoration by local craftsmen funded by the Grantscape Community Heritage Fund, and was re-opened later that year. Stembridge Mill was constructed for Robert Tatchell in 1822. It incorporated parts from the earlier Ham Mill, a few hundred yards to the north east. The mill has a 26 feet (7.9 m) tower situated on an old mill mound, surrounded by a low wall intended to keep people and livestock away from the sails.
