Berkswell Windmill is a brick tower mill with a hand-winding wheel, built in 1826 on the site of a post mill — making 2026 the mill's 200th anniversary year, with special bicentenary celebrations planned throughout the season. The sails were last used around the late 1920s or early 1930s, though the mill continued to work commercially until 1948 using auxiliary power. Restored to workable order 2013.
