Overview

Jill Windmill is a 19th century corn windmill located at Clayton, West Sussex in the United Kingdom. She is a traditional working corn windmill in the South Downs National Park. She has fully restored and is now maintained by volunteers from the Jack And Jill Windmills Society, a Registered Charity. In April 2018 the exterior of Jill Windmill will be painted and during this time Jill windmill will be closed to visitors. We expect the first 2018 Open Day to be in late June. Admission and Car Parking are free. Refreshments and Souvenirs are normally available on Open Days.
