A 'double edged sword' for Polegate's Windmill
Available for over a year
The brick windmill at Polegate, built in 1817, has been added to the Heritage at Risk register. Infested with Deathwatch beetle, it leaks when it rains and it joins the Church of St Michael in Plumpton and the Church of All Saints in Buncton - all on the list of properties that could be lost to history. Hanna Neter has been along to meet the volunteers who help to keep the windmill aloft. Photo Credit: Historic England Archive
