Cromer (Hertfordshire) windmill

Cromer Windmill is the only surviving post mill in the county and dates from about 1720. It is on an artificial mound that was the site of a medieval manorial windmill (c1222). It was badly damaged in a gale in 1926 and ceased working shortly afterwards. The mill was restored between 1966 and 1969 and is now the property of the Hertfordshire Building Preservation Trust.
