Meopham Windmill
Also known as Killicks Mill
Meopham, Kent
|
Windmill in Meopham Green
by Hywel Williams 2006 |
 |
This six-sided windmill, a 'smock' mill was built in 1801 by the
Killick brothers, a highly respected Kentish milling family, and is named due to
the similarity between the mill outline and the clothing worn by agricultural
workers.
The Killicks sold the mill in 1889 and it was
the Norton family who were responsible for the mill's switch from being sail driven to engine powered. The
windmill ceased to be a working mill in 1965.
It was restored in 2005 by the council and is
now open to the public for part of the year.
