Claire Perry visits the working windmill at Wilton

On Saturday 14 May I visited another favourite local institution - the working windmill at Wilton. While the re-opening of the Brixton windmill in London was all over the news last week, our own local gem has been turning its sails since 1976. On Saturday it provided a backdrop for the annual Wilton food fair; a packed festival celebrating local products including the bread made from wheat grown in the next-door field, ground at the windmill and baked in Great Bedwyn. Almost zero food miles and deliciously slathered with Wiltshire honey!
