Saxtead Green Post Windmill is a Grade II * listed〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher =English Heritage )〕 post mill at Saxtead Green, Framlingham, Suffolk, England which is also an Ancient Monument〔 and has been restored. ==History== According to the Manorial Records there has been a windill in Saxtead since 1287. The current ''Saxtead Green Mill'' dates back to at least 1796 when the miller was Amos Webber. In 1810, the Mill House was built for Robert Holmes. The mill was raised a total of three times during its working life.〔 The mill was tailwinded c. 1853. Around this time, the sails were destroyed and remade but in 1854 Whitmore and Binyon, the Wickham Market millwrights fitted new cast iron machinery and windshaft, and the layout of the machinery changed from Head and Tail to Breast stones.〔 It was in this year that the mill was raised for the third time. Collins, the Melton millwright worked on the mill in the 1870s and Whitmore and Binyon again worked on the mill in the 1890s. From 1926 millwright Jesse Wightman (who was initially apprenticed to A S Aldred the Miller) assisted the owner with repairs until the mill ceased working commercially on the death of the last miller in 1947. The mill passed to Mr S C Sullivan,(1908-1997)The son of A S Aldred, who placed the mill in the guardianship of the Ministry of Works in 1951. The mill is currently owned by Stephen and Jonathan Sullivan (ensuring the Mill has been in the ownership of the same family since 1873) The mill was completely rebuilt between 1957 and 1960 under the supervision of Jesse Wightman. A replacement crowntree was obtained from a windmill at Wetheringsett which had been demolished.〔 The mill has been in the care of English Heritage since 1984 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=285948&mode=quick )〕 The mill was repaired, with a new pair of sails made in 2008. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saxtead Green Windmill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
