Chalton Windmill is a Grade II listed[1] tower mill on the top of Windmill Hill at Chalton, Hampshire, England, which has been converted to residential use.
History
A mill has been recorded on the site since 1289.[2] A windmill was marked on John Norden's map dated 1607, John Speed's map dated 1611, Joan Blaeu's map dated 1645 and John Ogilby's map dated 1675.[3] The Chalton mill was built in the early nineteenth century.[1] In the 1950s it was threatened with demolition but a preservation order was placed on the mill by the local council.[4] Circa 1978 permission was given for the mill to be incorporated into a new-build house.[5] The converted mill was awarded a Certificate of Merit by the Petersfield Society.[4] It is currently listed among the National Heritage List for England.[1] The building where it is situated was sold out in March 2023 for £1m.[6][7]
