The Cage (1792) Village Lock-Up

Highlight • Historical Site

1.40 km

No one knows why a windmill was built in Lowfield Heath, but historical documents prove that the windmill has stood in the village since at least 1762. In 1835, the mill was damaged in a storm, but it continued to work by wind power until 1880 when it switched to portable steam engine power.

By 1957, the mill was left to rot with the roof missing in many places. In 1964, its fortunes turned as restorative work was carried out on the windmill and a Trust formed to continue its protection. The Mill was moved and rebuilt in 1984 due to Gatwick Airport expansion plans and was re-opened by Princess Alexandra in 1990.

You can visit the mill and learn more about its history of survival. Ring Peter James on 01403 272664 to arrange a visit. You can find more information, here: lowfieldheathwindmill.co.uk
