Thaxted windmill is saved
A 221-year-old Essex windmill is set to be restored and reopened thanks to more than £1.6 million pounds in funding. John Webb's Windmill in Thaxted was built in 1804 and operated for 100 years, but closed for repairs in 2018.
Mark Rickards is from the Thaxted Windmill Trust and says they're delighted with the news...
