The Mary McLauchlan Collection

In the 1970s and 1980s Mary McLauchlan toured round (mostly) Eastern England, recording details on the windmills of these regions. A vague target of publishing the results of the work never fitted around family life, and the records lay unused for many years. A recent house move brought the records to light again, and selections from the collection are presented here thanks to the generosity of Mary.
