STONE CROSS WINDMILL
Sunday 12 April The Windmill opens from 12 to 4pm for the 2026 season.
The Windmill Tower is looking very sad at the moment and requires extensive re-painting.
But like all heritage buildings it is becoming more difficult to obtain grants to complete the
work required. However the Trust are grateful to the Shepham Community Benefit Fund
that has awarded substantial grants in the past to complete essential work at the Windmill.
Please ensure that membership monies, which are due this month, are paid as soon as possible
preferably using bank transfer. This money helps to maintain the building in pristine
condition so that it remains open to the public and continues to mill flour. The Trust
are grateful to the maintenance volunteers who meet every Monday as this helps to
keep costs at a manageable level.
Wholemeal flour using locally grown wheat and ground by the mill is available to purchase.
We look forward to seeing you and celebrate your generosity throughout the season.

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.
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.
