British Windmills
A Bibliographical Guide
THIRD EDITION
Guy Blythman
Note: this webpage contains material brought to my attention since the second edition of the Bibliography was published in 2008. It is unlikely there will be a further paper edition (but see comment at start of Index),and certainly there are not enough new entries yet to justify one, so the webpage will continue to be the only version of the Bibliography for the foreseeable future, being added to so far as software problems allow.

INTRODUCTION
The number of books and articles concerning windmills has increased considerably since the first edition of this Bibliography was compiled by Mr C F Lindsey in 1974. It was therefore felt that a second edition was called for. Like the author's photographic register of English windmills, it is hoped that the content of the book will eventually be placed on the website maintained by the National Mills Archive (see below). This has so far proved difficult due to problems encountered with formatting. These are expected to be resolved as computer technology continues to advance, but in the meantime it was felt the information ought to be available to the public in some form. It is also the author's belief that the internet, wonderful invention as it is, should not be the sole means of presenting information. Computers can crash, and the data be lost or become inaccessible for a time, whereas a book is always there on your shelf. Some simply lack an affinity with computers or cannot afford easy and regular access to one. This includes some older people and many who are on benefits or low income. To put all our eggs in the basket of the Net would be to discriminate against such persons.
The booklet aims to include all printed material on British windmills. It encompasses three categories of material:
(1) Books and booklets (the latter category is regarded as comprising anything from a single-sheet leaflet upwards). Publications on industrial archaeology, local history and rural life in general are included if they contain information on windmills (where this information amounts to an entire chapter, such has been indicated).
(2) Articles in journals on local and industrial history, archaeology and technology.
(3) Newspaper and magazine articles.
(4) Papers, theses, unpublished manuscripts, reports and surveys
Some classes of material included in the 1974 edition have been omitted from this one, namely patents, technical drawings and leaflets appealing for funds for the restoration of particular mills. It was felt that these should be regarded as being in categories of their own and that the first two in particular deserved to be catalogued separately (this is something I am currently working on).
New publications are appearing all the time, and inevitably some will have escaped the notice of the compiler. In addition, where newspaper and magazine articles are concerned, there have been so many that to identify and list them all, except where another has drawn the compiler's attention to them, would be time-consuming and impractical. Nonetheless any additional information would be welcome and should be communicated to the compiler at guy.blythman@talktalk.net (postal address and telephone number withheld for reasons of privacy).
For the same reason it has not been possible to read all the items listed in the bibliography, so although it is usually possible, from personal knowledge, to tell whether something is a book or a booklet it has not always been possible to assess the value of an item to researchers, so that they do not waste their time chasing up something which contributes little to our knowledge of the subject. Opinions are subjective anyway, though in one or two cases (where I feel sure most people would agree with me) I have felt justified in expressing mine. It is of course perfectly acceptable for even the serious mill buff to wish to acquire something simply as a "collectors' item".
With some entries only the sketchiest information is available, and to attempt to find out more would be a time-consuming and costly business, so a certain amount of detective work may be necessary on the part of the reader.
Regarding the articles, it can be assumed that those which appear in technical, local history or industrial archaeological journals are serious affairs reflecting careful research. Those in popular newspapers or magazines are less likely to be; I have found that the information (which may be given with the best of intentions) is often inaccurate. Nevertheless there may be information there which is useful, as well as attractively presented.
The majority of books written before the 1950s, with the exception of Watermills and Windmills by W. Coles Finch, were concerned mainly with the romantic and aesthetic properties of windmills and are not a serious historical and technical study of the subject. They may contain interesting photographs. Those items marked* are particularly worth a look; it doesn't mean that the rest necessarily aren't, nor is this accolade an indication of anything other than the compiler's own personal opinion.
The vast majority of items listed in the Bibliography will no longer be in print. If your local library does not have a copy of the book or periodical you are seeking, you could consult it at the British Library or order it through the inter-library loan scheme. As well as Amazon, there are a number of second-hand booksellers, such as Bookfinder, who operate a booksearch through the Internet.
ISBNs have been given for all books still in print, and a few of those out of print (it is not always essential, but the number may still be useful in tracing a book that is difficult to get hold of in the shops). Not all the minor publications - i.e. brief guide books, leaflets etc - will have been allocated one; their authors may not have thought it necessary. Books go out of print all the time and so the information given here may not always be up-to-date.
The Science Museum Library at
,
Current guide books to individual mills can be obtained from the mills themselves (the SPAB holds a list of windmills currently open to the public),whose custodians may also be able to supply information on previous editions.
I hope this Bibliography will prove useful to researchers.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to express my gratitude to staff at the various libraries who have helped me in my research; Mr J Kenneth Major and Mr David Jones, two leading authorities on wind- and watermills who checked the bibliography for errors and omissions; Mr C F Lindsey who wrote the first edition of the Bibliography, which I used as my starting-point when compiling the second; Mr Niall Roberts, Mr Tony Bryan, the late Mr Stephen Buckland, Mr Peter Filby, Mr Russell Jones and other members of the Mills Research Group who have supplied me with valuable information or checked the draft; Dr Ron Cookson and Mr Luke Bonwick at the Mills Archive Trust, where most of the items mentioned here can be found; Simon Hughes and Mildred Cookson of the Mills Section; also the staff at the Science Museum Library, South Kensington, and the Royal Commission on Historic Monuments (now the National Monuments Record),Swindon.
Copies, now out of date, of this MSS have been donated to the Science Museum Library and the National Mills Archive.
Thanks to Parchments for the printing and Zoe King for the cover.

OTHER SOURCES OF INFORMATION
(1) SPAB Wind- and Watermill Section/Mills Section newsletters from 1979 (typed news-sheets prior to then) and Annual Reports from 1933
(2) Mill Group Newsletters and Journals
These merit a special section of their own. Since the foundation of the East Kent Mills Group (now the Kent Mills Group) in 1974, the number of regional societies for the study and conservation of windmills and watermills has increased. As well as special publications by them, which are included in the main body of this booklet, their newsletters and journals are a valuable source of information on the history and current status of individual mills as well as milling in general. The Suffolk Mills Group and Sussex Industrial Archaeology Society Newsletters currently contain articles on the bygone mills of their respective counties. In addition, many of them publish an annual, or at least regular, journal containing articles on molinological subjects pertaining to their county. Those containing articles on windmills are listed below. The SPAB Mills Section should hold copies of all newsletters and journals: failing that, they might be obtained from the British Library.
Because of certain information not currently being accessible the list of journals and the articles appearing in them is not complete. Also the journals may contain articles other than the main ones which I have listed.
Copies will be held by NMA (most of them anyway),SPAB or by the groups themselves, whose contact details may change from time to time but should be available from SPAB .

NON-LITERARY SOURCES OF INFORMATION
The most important collection of British windmill photographs is housed at The Royal Commission on Historic Monuments (see above) where it is available for public inspection.
Many county and university libraries, record offices and museums will hold photographs of windmills. The author is currently compiling a national photographic register of British windmills.
INDEX TO INDIVIDUAL MILLS, REGIONS AND LOCALITIES
