Langstone Windmill is a Grade II listed[1] tower mill at Langstone, Hampshire in England. The windmill is also a Scheduled Ancient Monument.[2] It has been converted to residential accommodation.

History

Langstone Mill was built around 1730.[2] It worked in conjunction with a tide mill close by.[3] The mill was derelict in 1934.[4] By 1939 it had been converted to residential accommodation, with the tower tarred and a new cap constructed.[3]

Langstone Mill is a four storey tower mill which shows evidence of having been raised by a storey at some point. It had a hand winded domed cap and the four common sails were carried on a wooden windshaft.[5]
