A Grade II* post mill near Brentwood, restored with its sails and open on summer afternoons. Like other post mills, the entire body pivots on a central post so the sails can be turned into the wind. Volunteers open it on the third Sunday of the month from April to September. Ingatestone station is about 1km away.
