Pakenham Windmill
[5] In 1947, the mill was nearly tail-winded,[6] but the miller managed to turn the cap in time to avoid this happening.A second-hand stock from Thurston post mill was fitted at this time and a gallery constructed around the cap.[4] Further restoration took place in 1961, aided by grants from Suffolk County Council, the Ministry of Works.The sack chain saved the mill from being burnt down by giving a route for the lightning to earth.[4] The mill is open to the public daily "during working hours" for individuals, and by appointment for parties.
