John Webb's Windmill, Thaxted

A Grade II* Listed red brick tower mill built in 1804 for Mr John Webb. It has four patent sails and winding by fantail. However the latter is missing and the mill was closed for restoration although we had been expecting it to be open for National Mills Open Days.

St. John the Baptist with Our Lady and St. Laurence Church, Thaxted

This really is a fine church with a 181 foot spire dominating the town of Thaxted on a slight hill. English Perpendicular church built between 1340 and 1510, - one of the largest in Essex, and a testament to the wealth of the town during the Middle Ages. Grade I Listed Building.
