A very pleasing end to the day … saw a picture of this on the weather forecast and then found this page: **LINK**

What an interesting building, that could be a nice diversion off the M40 next time I head to the Midlands.

That looks well worth a visit next time I take a bike out. There are a couple of mills converted to houses local to me but nothing like as interesting.

What a great link. I remember seeing this mill a few years ago when going on holiday. My wife and me are both windmill enthusiasts and immediately noticed that this was unusual.

The computerised drawings are excellent.

Clearly visible from the old A41 about 15 miles north of Banbury. Inigo Jones had a hand in the design, or perhaps it was an arm, or even several.

I rode past it every day on my way to work in the late 1960s.

Cheers, Tim

Good call, Michael.

I photographed it a few times in the 1990s, on Fujichrome Velvia, when I worked in Warwickshire.
