STONE CROSS WINDMILL

To celebrate the end of a very successful year
the Windmill will be open
Sunday 7 December from 12 to 3pm.

Come and join us to celebrate this fantastic working Windmill with Liam’s Extra Special home-made vegetable soup with bread.  
Other refreshments are also available including
a range of home-made cakes, bread and scones.

The Heritage weekend in September was well attended with visitors from far and wide and the radio team managed to contact 57 Windmills in Britain and across Europe.

Wholemeal flour using locally grown wheat
is still available to purchase before the
Windmill closes for the Winter season.  
We look forward to seeing you and celebrate
your generosity throughout the season.

Stone Cross Windmill occupies one of the
highest spots in Eastbourne, visible from
many parts of the town and is marked on admiralty maps as a reference point for
shipping.  It is one of the finest
Tower Windmills in the country noted for its craftsmanship and longevity.

The volunteer maintenance team has shrunk over the years due to age and arthritic joints – if you would like to contribute to the continuing maintenance of the Windmill please contact the chair.  The maintenance team ensure that all parts of the Windmill are kept in pristine working order.

In August the Trust sadly said goodbye to Sue who passed away after a long illness.  Sue was a constant help at the Windmill supervising the tombola and always ready with delicious cakes for visitors to enjoy.  The Trustees send condolences to Bob and all her family.

Please visit the Windmill as this iconic building needs your support and donations.  The Trust welcomes groups to explore the Windmill and can provide talks to local groups providing a further source of income.

Stone Cross Mill Trustees can also provide interesting talks to local groups about the
history of the Windmill and its relevance
to the local area.

Please contact the chair for further details.

A big thank you to all our supporters who have been so generous with donations and who continue to visit the Windmill, providing essential funds to help maintain the building. Further information and dates will be here on the website.
