The survey commissioned by the Parish Council at the beginning of the year revealed some issues that needed immediate attention and these have now been resolved. We engaged mill specialists IJP Owlsworth to help lower and replace the sails
Work on the sails
The Brill Society undertook the work to restore the two sails that where not replaced.
We did find some rot in one sail that has now been completly removed and replaced with new timber.
The sails where then treated with linseed oil and linseed oil based paints that will help preserve them.
Whats Next
As always with a building the age of our windmill there are always jobs to plan for, we are always looking for volunteers to help in many ways from helping to open the windmill on a Sunday to being part of the sail turning team, if you could spare us a little time and would like to get involved please get in touch.
