There is a windmill in this village - rather an old smock mill, brought here from Chesham in the 19th century where it had been for many years, I believe.
The smock mill is a tapered tower clad in weatherboard or brick and is usually octagonal in shape although there are examples of six, ten and even twelve sided ones.
It dates from around 1810 and the smock mill itself has been converted with a dining-room on the ground floor.
