A sprawling, landmark pub dating from 1665 but much extended in the 19th century. The opened-up interior offers distinct drinking areas, with the large room through to the left boasting a whispering gallery effect to rival that of St Paul’s Cathedral.

The conservatory beyond serves as a restaurant. The Burger Shack outside opens in summer.

Payment is Card Only.

The premises include a 42-bedroom, boutique hotel.

The pub has a sporty character and hosts teams from the neighbouring common. Rugby is popular here.

Quiz night is Sunday.

The name reverted in 2024 from 'The Windmill on the Common' to simply 'The Windmill'.

There is an artistic depiction of the Windmill on the floor between the bars (see photo).

Historic Interest

Grade II listing;- Two-storey, 4-window early C19 stock brick front with stone-coped parapet concealing fairly highpitched hipped slated roof, suggesting earlier date. Gauged flat brick arches to sash windows with glazing bars; left first floor window lengthened, breaking cill band. Later doors. In second bay from left is a mid-late C19 feature, once a door but now a window. Canted bays on both ends, the north one weather-boarded Sash windows with glazing bars. Early-mid C19 back range has low-pitched hipped slate roof and several sash windows with glazing bars in moulded architraves.
