Chalton Windmill is a Grade II listed tower mill on the top of Windmill Hill at Chalton, Hampshire, England, which has been converted to residential use.
A mill has been recorded on the site since 1289.[1] A windmill was marked on John Norden's map dated 1607, John Speed's map dated 1611, Joan Blaeu's map dated 1645 and John Ogilby's map dated 1675.[2] The Chalton mill was built in the early nineteenth century. In the 1950s it was threatened with demolition but a preservation order was placed on the mill by the local council.[3] Circa 1978 permission was given for the mill to be incorporated into a new-build house. The converted mill was awarded a Certificate of Merit by the Petersfield Society.[3]
Chalton windmill is a four-storey tower mill. It had four patent sails carried on a cast-iron windshaft and the cap was winded by a fantail. The millstones were driven overdrift.[4]
