Notable for its eight-sailed windmill, the only one of its kind in Europe, Heckington is a quaint village in Lincolnshire. Although constructed as a five-sailed windmill in the early 19th century, the mill was altered after a storm in the 1890s. Today visitors to the 1,000-year-old village can visit the mill, which is still in working order.
