Stevington

This is a typical English village with a church that was here at the time of the Domesday survey, a village cross decorated with capitals and a large finial, and a Holy Well that attracted visitors in the Middle Ages. It is claimed that it never freezes or dries up.

However, the most important building in the village is the Post Mill, the only one of the county’s 12 remaining windmills that still retains its sails. Dating from the 1770s, the mill continued to operate commercially until 1936, having been rebuilt in 1921. Extensively restored in the 1950s, it is in full working order today. Though milling was an important part of village life here for many years, lace-making, too, was a thriving industry and mat makers also settled here, taking advantage of the rushes growing on the banks of the nearby River Ouse.
