England's oldest smock mill that has wooden machinery thought to date from around 1650. The name smock mill is derived from the shape of the mill resembling a farmer's smock. The windmill stands above the Chiltern escarpment in the full force of the south westerly winds. It was in use until around 1915, but by the late 1960s its condition had deteriorated very badly, however since 1971 it has been restored back to working order by volunteers from The Chiltern Society.
