Hawkstone Windmill, Hawkstone Park, Weston-under-Redcastle - Shropshire (UA)
Late C18 windmill located just outside the registered park and garden at Hawkstone Hall which was designed by William Emes in the mid-C18. The windmill sits above the Hawk Lake in the part of the park which is now a golf course and benefits from extensive views. The building is no longer secure, and is deteriorating under a temporary roof erected in 1994. All internal machinery and floor structure has largely and recently collapsed with the exception of principal floor beams, curb ring, windshaft and brakewheel.
