Windmills of Buckinghamshire: Quainton Windmill
Quainton Windmill was built between 1830-32 and is the tallest windmill in Buckinghamshire at 70ft tall. It was derelict for most of the 20th century but has now been restored and can grind wheat into flour. The windmill was built by James Anstiss and it is still owned by the Anstiss family. The mill had a steam engine installed early in its working life. Until 1881, it was wind-driven, but milling came to an end in 1900. The building remained unused as a mill, without a cap or sails, until 1974, when the owner formed the Quainton Windmill Society, with the aim of restoring the windmill. The Society spent 23 years undertaking restoration work and in 1997, milling was re-established.
Following an external survey, in 2013 in agreement with English Heritage the decision was made to remove the cap, sails and fantail due to signs of decay. The mill is open Sundays between 10am and 12.30pm between March and October.
Myself and my sister have had a lifelong interest in tall and interesting buildings such as windmills, and aim to continue to go round many of the windmills in the region and other counties in England.

I have been wanting to visit Chesterton Windmill for such a long time so on this saturday the 4th November we set off the 400 mile, 9 hour round trip to see this 1632 built Windmill near Warwickshire, my home town. Was worth every minute on that cold and windy hill top. Thanks for watching. Thee will be more to follow soon.
Windmills of Buckinghamshire: Lacey Green Windmill
Lacey Green Windmill by it's internal contruction methods has been dated back to the middle of the 17th century, around 1650; and is said to be England's oldest smock mill. Most books refer to the fact that in 1821 Lacey Green windmill was moved from Chesham, which is 9 miles to the east. However extensive research has not found any actual evidence of this, indeed records indicate that a mill existed at Lacey Green before 1821. The body of the mill was rebuilt in the early 19th century, and at some time its machinery was modernised. The modernisations included the fitting of a fantail (on the back of the cap) to turn the cap into the wind automatically, the fitting of a pair of patent sails, and adding interior refinements such as a governor (for some automatic adjustment of running speed), a smutter (to clean the grain), and a bolter (to sift the flour). The windmill was in use until around 1915. After this it was used in the 1920's as a weekend cottage. However despite some obvious attempts at weatherproofing (with corrugated iron sheets and roofing felt), by the mid 1930's it was in a poor condition, and rapidly deteriorating. The corners of a smock mill are vulnerable places to allow water in, and any water will immediately attack the corner posts that form the main structure of the mill. This had obviously happened at Lacey Green, and was starting to cause fears that the mill would collapse. A number of local people, together with members of SPAB (The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings) got together to make repairs to the structure of the mill. However by the late 1960s, the mill was once again in a desperate condition, the whole body being twisted and tilted. Two years later, in 1971, a team of volunteers started work on restoring the windmill, and this restoration was completed by 1982. The windmill today remains a local landmark and is regularly open to the general public.
Myself and my sister have had a lifelong interest in tall and interesting buildings such as windmills, and aim to continue to go round many of the windmills in the region and other counties in England.

Places to see in ( Wendover - UK )
Places to see in ( Wendover - UK )
Wendover is a market town at the foot of the Chiltern Hills in Buckinghamshire, England. It is also a civil parish within Aylesbury Vale district. The mainly arable parish is 5,832 acres (2,360 ha) in size and contains many hamlets that nestle in amongst the lush forest on the surrounding hills. It lies between the picturesque villages of Ellesborough and Aston Clinton.
In 1086 the manor of Wendovre was in the hundred of Aylesbury, with William the Conqueror as its tenant in chief. The parish church of St Mary is outside the town to the east on the hillside: a feature that is very common among towns with strong Celtic origins. There is a distinctive red brick, spired clock tower at the crossroads in the centre of the town that was built in 1842. The tree lined Aylesbury Street includes the 16th-century timber framed Chiltern House and 18th-century Red House.
There is still a row of houses in the town today, known as Anne Boleyn's Cottages. The town is the birthplace of Gordon Onslow Ford, British surrealist artist, and it is believed to be the birthplace of the medieval chronicler Roger of Wendover. The town is also the birthplace of Cecilia Payne, the astronomer who first showed that the Sun is mainly composed of hydrogen.
The town is at the terminus of the Wendover Arm of the Grand Union Canal, which joins Tring summit level of the Grand Union main line beside Marsworth top lock. Disused for over a century, the arm is in course of being restored by the Wendover Arm Trust. Remote and rural for almost all its length, the canal attracts much local wildlife.
Today the town is very popular with commuters working in London. The popularity is due partly to the town's easy access to London by rail, partly to Wendover railway station, served by Chiltern Railways from London Marylebone via Amersham on the London to Aylesbury Line, and partly because it is so picturesque.
Facilities in the village centre include a Post Office Ltd, several hairdressers, a community library (run by volunteers), Whitewater's deli & cafe, Lloyds Pharmacy, and a charity shop. Wendover also plays host to the 'Coombe Hill Run' which usually occurs on the 1st Sunday of June every year. It begins and ends in the village and encompasses two very steep climbs up the Hill to the monument along with a very steep decline. Legend states that a boy from Wendover can only become a man once he has completed the course for the first time
By virtue of its geography, sitting in a gap in the Chiltern Hills and a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Wendover has much to offer both local people and visitors wishing to explore the local countryside. The frequent train service from London Marylebone makes it an ideal destination for a day trip to the country. The ancient Ridgeway National Trail, a highly popular 85-mile walking route that extends from Avebury to Ivinghoe, passes along Wendover High Street. Apart from the Ridgeway Trail there are 33 miles of public rights of way and bridleways criss-crossing the parish. These paths will take you over the open chalk downland of Coombe Hill, Buckinghamshire, home to Britains longest surviving geocache, with its elegant monument to the Buckinghamshire men who died in the Boer War, or walk to the pretty hamlet of Dunsmore in the spring and enjoy the carpet of bluebells, or enjoy the shaded woods on Haddington Hill and Boddington Hill, belonging to Forest Enterprise (known locally as 'Wendover Woods'). Mountain bikers make use of specially prepared cycle routes throughout the Woods, which also feature walking trails for walkers of various ability as well as barbecue sites and play areas for children. Close to Boddington hill there are the remains of an Iron Age hill fort.
