Bledlow Ridge Windmill, Bledlow, Buckinghamshire
From maps we know that this mill was in existence by 1797. The Windmill was acquired by a group of speculative developers called 'The Land Company' before 1910. Around 1913 one of the main timbers of the windmill broke and according to the book there was a dispute over 'rights' which meant repairs were not carried out. Milling here ceased in 1914. By 1933 Wycombe Rural District Council had acquired the site and they had the windmill demolished. Find out more about windmills and watermills in our Teachers' Kit - Mills.
