Restoration work took a very visible step forward in Aug 2011, when the buck was lifted back onto the trestle.
Entry in Mills Archive database - #1682 - Post mill, Chinnor
This large post mill was built in 1789. It was reputedly moved from Chatham, Kent. It had a brick roundhouse hiding a six quarter-bar trestle. The mill had patent sails, ladder and fantail and was in working order up to 1938. The mill was dismantled in 1960. It is now being restored. The trestle is in place, but the buck has not yet been assembled.
