BUCKLAND WINDMILL - LATEST NEWS
August 2001
The cap (revolving top) of Buckland Windmill has been reconstructed with a new oak frame and several new castings (see Restoration). It is being painted in the next few months in readiness for re-assembly on top of the windmill. The old oak weatherboards have been used for dendrochronology dating samples - results are awaited. The original shuttered sails will also receive a coat of paint to be re-erected. Expect new pictures with the cap in place over the summer of 2001.
