Heritage Open Days – Buckland Windmill

BUCKLAND WINDMILL
Open Saturday 20 September, 1pm-5pm

Buckland Windmill is a small sawmill workshop built in the 1860s.

It is situated on property previously owned by the Estate carpenter. Restored in the period 1996-2004 and recently repainted, the windmill now has a circular saw and lathe which are powered for demonstration purposes.

It is the only surviving wind-powered sawmill in the UK. We also have a photographic display of the traction engines that used to be on-site to power the saws.

The garden will also be open and refreshments available, with proceeds to St Mary’s Buckland Church and Churchyard Fabric Fund (CCFF).
