The sails of an 18th Century windmill are to be set to a mourning position.
He continued: "Usually it's done with four-sailed mills. The Dutch only have four-sailed mills so they have quite a large vocabulary for the positioning of the sails.
"For five sailed mills it is a bit trickier, so we just have ones where for a celebration it is to go just before vertical, and if somebody dies, it goes to just past vertical." He said the sails would remain in the position throughout the official period of mourning, apart from when the windmill was in use.The windmill originally produced flour from the 1770s to the 1930s but fell into disrepair until the society began work to restore it in 2001.
"We were given a voluntary service award in 2017 and we were very lucky to go to one of the garden parties to see the Queen herself, and it was delightful," Mr Green added.
