Finchingfield Post Windmill can be traced back
to 1756. It has four spring sails, one pair of millstones and a tailpole. It is
open to the public on some summer days.
It is not workable, because of its location among trees and cottages, but is
opened once a month in the summer by the Finchingfield Society, (owned by
council).
