Kings Windmill, Shipley - Horsham
Four-storey smock mill on a two-storey brick base of 1879. Upper storeys faced with weather- boarding. Attached one storey engine house of 1880. The mill was bought in 1906 by the author Hilaire Belloc, who owned it until his death in 1953. The owners continue a programme of repainting and minor repairs but a more comprehensive repair scheme is required. The shutters have been removed from the sweeps to prevent high winds putting stress on the structure. The fan tail has been lost to storm damage and there has been some water ingress through the cap.
