The name comes from the fact that the top of the mill revolves around a central post so that it can be moved in order to work in whatever direction the wind is blowing. Mechanism for moving the upper part of the windmill Although records show there has been a mill on this site since 1287, the current mill dates from at least 1796. It continued to work as a mill until 1947 and was given into state care in 1951. It was extensively refurbished in 1957-60 and again in 2017-21.
