AN exhibition exploring Thaxted Windmill’s rich history is set to open to the public as part of Heritage Open Days.
The exhibition runs from Friday, September 18 to Sunday, September 20, and will feature original documents and photographs detailing the stories of the mill’s owners, builders, and workers.
Many of these items have never been displayed before.
Organised by the Thaxted Windmill Trust CIO and Thaxted Guildhall Committee, the exhibition will be set up in the Grade I-listed Thaxted Guildhall, built between 1390 and 1410.
The Guildhall has a long history, having served as a grammar school from the late 17th century until 1878.
