Hawridge Windmill
Hawridge Windmill which is also known as Cholesbury Windmill is a disused tower mill in Hawridge, Buckinghamshire. The mill was constructed on the site of an earlier smock mill and became a private residence in 1913 when the first occupier, the writer Gilbert Cannan used it as a studio.
==History==
A windmill was first located on or near the site during the 17th and 18th centuries according to contemporary maps.〔(Unlocking Buckinghamshire's Past Buckinghamshire County Council Hawridge Mill ), Accessed 19 April 2013〕 The Hawridge Wind and Steam Mill was a smock mill constructed in 1863 by the Norwich Wind and Steam Company, who also installed a steam engine and built an engine house with a tall chimney. The smock mill was bought and sold at least twice; on the second occasion, in 1881, together with the related properties it realised £600. However it appears not to have been profitable due to; its poor design, faults in the construction, and the cost of coal. It was demolished in 1883.
A further mill was built on the same site in 1883. This was a tower mill, thought to be one of the last of its kind built in England. It was built by Hillsdon's of Tring for £300. The following year the tall chimney associated with the steam mill was taken down. A grain store was added shortly after. The original mill owners struggled to make it profitable and it was sold and then leased only becoming a going concern when a more experienced miller who remained in charge until the mill finally ceased operation in 1912. It became a private residence in 1913.〔
