Stansted windmill is a post mill located in Essex, dating to the eighteenth century. The structure exemplifies the post mill design, a wooden-framed type of windmill mounted on a central post that allows the entire body of the mill to rotate to face the wind. The mill represents an important survival of the vernacular industrial architecture characteristic of Essex, a county with a long tradition of windmill construction and grain milling. Though the specific details of its construction date and operational history require reference to the full heritage record, the mill remains a significant example of pre-industrial mechanical technology in the English landscape.
