Stansted windmill is a post mill located in Essex, England, dating to the eighteenth century. The structure represents a significant example of vernacular industrial architecture from the Georgian period, utilising the post mill design which allowed the entire body of the mill to rotate on a central post to catch the wind. The mill stood as an important processing facility for the local agricultural community, grinding grain into flour and meal for domestic and commercial purposes. Though no longer in use as a working mill, it remains an important record of Essex's agricultural heritage and the technological methods employed in rural grain processing during the early modern period.
