The Windmill suffered some damage in the December heavy winds and the blades on the fantail were damaged and required extensive repairs.  This work has been completed by an experienced Mill Wright with a grant from Shepham Community Fund.  These vital repairs ensure that the Windmill continues to mill flour and for the public to visit and enjoy this iconic building.  The roof of the café also suffered some damage to the tiles which have been repaired.  Thanks to further grant from Shepham Community Fund the pathway between the café and roundel has been replaced.

Due to the excessive costs of hiring local venues the November fair will be held at the Windmill.  Please encourage friends and neighbours to visit the November fair and help to contribute to the longevity and maintenance of the Windmill.

Don’t forget to renew Windmill membership and 100 club or become a member.  Due to covid 19 the Windmill like other heritage buildings was closed throughout 2020 and suffered a severe loss of income as all fund-raising activities were abandoned.

Many thanks for your continued support.  If you wish to pay membership, 100 club or provide a donation by direct transfer please contact the chair for details on 07909987843 or email scmt2012@yahoo.co.uk

Once milling starts information will be available for the purchase of flour from the café.
