Meopham Windmill invites you to come along and visit this historic site following restoration.
Meopham Windmill (formerly known as Killick Mill) was built in 1819 by the three Killick brothers reputedly from old ships timbers purchased from Chatham Dockyard.
It is one of a handful of six-sided smock mills in the UK, eight being the usual number. The mill’s black smock tower stands on a brick base of two storeys. The mill stands preserved with all its milling machinery including three pairs of millstones. The Windmill is a grade 2* listed building. It is now owned by Kent County Council and leased to the Meopham Windmill Trust, which also owns the land around the mill. The former engine shed is currently used by Meopham Parish Council as its Parish Office. For many years the hexagonal base of the windmill was used for meetings of the Parish Council, forming a very unusual council chamber, possibly the only one of its kind in the country!
