Bardwell Windmill lies smack bang in the middle of the tranquil village of Bardwell deep in the beautiful Suffolk countryside. The current windmill has been in the same place since 1829 but there has been a windmill in Bardwell since the 13th Century. It worked by wind power up until 1925 but then transferred over to engine power. Sadly the mill was unlucky enough to be the only windmill in the country to be damaged in the great winds of 1987 when the sails and fantail were torn off.
