This presentation on Rayleigh Windmill has recently been re-written to include more details of the museum's interesting history using original photographs and the "official" timeline of the good, the bad and the ugly events at the Windmill over the years.
Additionally, there are images from the day in 2018 when the sails were put back on the Windmill. Finally the presentation covers how the Windmill is used today and the story how an old sack from the windmill was restored and is now a prize exhibit
