Pitstone Windmill, Pitstone Near Ivinghoe, Buckinghamshire, UK


Pitstone Windmill stands in the north east corner of a large field near the parish boundary of Ivinghoe and Pitstone in Buckinghamshire. It is thought to have been first built circa 1627 as this date is carved on part of the framework. This is the earliest date to be found on any windmill in the British Isles. The design of the mill is what is known as a post mill. Ivinghoe Beacon and Chiltern Hills in the background.
