Bragg's Mill, Ashdon
[3] A meeting of the villagers in April 1999 agreed that the windmill should be restored and that included the sails being fitted.In 2000, the mill was gifted to Ashdon village by the Thurlow Estate, who owned it, with the promise of a £25,000 donation once the Trust had raised £25,000 itself.It has four patent sails carried on a wooden windshaft with a cast iron poll end.At some point, the body of the mill had been extended at the back to provide room for a bolter.[7] The windshaft is of wood with a cast iron poll end, probably fitted at the same time that the Patent sails were added.[7] References for above:-[2][3] Bragg's Mill in its last working years was described in the book Five Miles from Bunkum.
