The last surviving windmill on the Isle of Wight has been renovated as part of a £38,000 National Trust project.
Bembridge Windmill, which was immortalised in a watercolour painting by JMW Turner, was built in the 1700s.
It was in action for more than 200 years and later used as a Home Guard headquarters during World War Two.
The National Trust said it planned to reopen the mill for pre-booked appointments as soon as it was allowed under Covid-19 restrictions.
