Windmill Hill Mill, Herstmonceux
The mill stood derelict for many years with major structural faults, including both side girts being broken.A trust was set up in 1995, aiming to prevent further deterioration in the condition of the mill, and to assess options for restoration.Modern millwrighting techniques, including CAD were used in the assessment of the structure of the mill in preparation for the rebuild.It was found that one of the quarterbars in the trestle would need to be replaced due to damage done by Death Watch Beetles.[6] On 19 November 2014 the Heritage Lottery Fund announced the grant of £80,800 for restoration of machinery and sweeps to grind flour.[9] The roundhouse is 22 feet 6 inches (6.86 m) in diameter and has a single-storey lean-to extension of part of its circumference.
