Bourn Windmill is a post mill of eighteenth-century date located in the village of Bourn, Cambridgeshire. The structure represents a significant example of vernacular industrial architecture from the Georgian period, when windmills formed essential components of the rural grain-milling infrastructure across East Anglia. The mill survives as a brick-built structure mounted on a timber base, characteristic of post mills of this era, though it has undergone various modifications throughout its operational life. The site demonstrates the technological and economic importance of wind-powered milling to agrarian communities in Cambridgeshire during the pre-industrial period.
