It is very rare that you haven't noticed the picturesque attractive magnificently white Windmill when driving along the St Mary's Lane. This Windmill is a Grade II Listed Building built in 1803 and in terms of quality, completeness and significance it is widely considered to be amongst the very best remaining English smock mills.

There is a beautiful open grass area surrounded by mature trees - very popular with locals and visitors for leisurely stroll or having picnics!

Visitor Centre has a beautiful garden maintained by volunteers! The Education Room is available for hire!

It has been a while - 3+ years I think, that the windmill is closed for much-needed restoration work! Wish that this opens soon for public visits!

St Mary's Lane and Corbets Tey Road are full of tourist attractions including Upminster Park, Parklands Open Space, Clockhouse Gardens...

Stunning windmill, especially when the sails are unleashed - Stopped off to see the windmill on Tuesday, 05th August 2025. Past this windmill for years, when it was closed and sail-less. Appears to be open more now that it's been restored, and the site includes plenty of parking and the buildings around the windmill are part of the museum. The stunning aspect of my visit was witnessing the sails unleashed, which, tbh, I had never seen before at windmill visits outside the Netherlands. Check the Website/Facebook site for opening days and times, as otherwise, though you can walk to the site, you won't be able to park next to it. When open parking is free. Very limited parking opportunities nearby...
