New sail is fitted to working corn windmill

A working corn windmill described by a millwright as the only one of its type in the UK has had a new sail fitted as part of a maintenance project. Wicken Village Windmill, in Cambridgeshire, was a "complete ruin" when a group of volunteers took it on 31 years ago. They gradually restored it to working order and now grind grain to make flour which they sell to help fund ongoing maintenance work. Millwright Dave Pearce described the 12-sided smock, or wooden tower, windmill as the "only surviving, workable one of its type in the UK".
