The wait is finally over for lovers of a hugely popular windmill which has spent four years without any sails.
Chesterton Windmill has sat on a hill in Warwickshire for nearly 400 years, but its sails were removed in 2021 after cracks appeared in the wood.
Now a specialist conservation team have finished the installation of new sails after spending five days at the site, near Royal Leamington Spa.
The installation team had the use of a hoist, but most of the work on the stocks and sails was completed with ropes and pulleys.
Chesterton Windmill is both a Grade I listed and a Scheduled Ancient Monument. It is one of only four windmills in England with this classification.
