Windmill_Wymondham.JPG (41893 bytes)

This is an old windmill found in Wymondham. It is probably 400 years old. It was used to husk and grind grains. The shafts are made of wood while the wheels are iron. There are five chambers inside. We climbed on the wooden ladders placed inside. The view through the topmost window is spectacular.

We were able to see miles of area touching the horizon and it was a beautiful site. The spire of a church can be seen upwards to the centre of picture.

The Windmill Tea Pub is a modest, clean place. The tea we had in this pub had such a fragrant flavour - very much like the famous Ceylon tea.
