John Webb's Windmill at Thaxted, Essex.

John Webb's Mill (or Lowe's Mill) was built in 1804 for John Webb, a local farmer and landowner. The windmill was constructed to satisfy the increasing demand for flour both locally and in London. It was constructed using local materials, with timber from two local farms and the bricks were made at a nearby location in the Chelmer Valley also owned by John Webb.

    Wonderful composition and lovely colours. The sky with those amazing clouds give a great depth to the scene.
    Good work!
    Best regards, Massimo
