THAXTED Windmill is appealing for help to clean items from its rural museum.
Numerous items tied connected to agriculture and the area's history are in storage while the windmill undergoes restoration.
Many of the items have become dusty and in need of repair.
All necessary cleaning equipment will be provided, and volunteers will receive training and guidance from an expert collections conservator.

Cleaning sessions take place from 10am to 1pm on June 30, July 13 and August 13.
Attendance at all sessions is not required.
The sessions offer a rare opportunity to learn how to care for historic artefacts, which will become part of new displays once the windmill opens again in 2028.
Anyone interested in helping should email johnwebbswindmill@gmail.com.
