Upminster Windmill was built for James Nokes, a local farmer, in 1803. It is a Grade II* listed building and in terms of quality, completeness and significance it is widely considered to be amongst the very best remaining English smock mills.
The re-opening of Upminster Windmill was featured on BBC London News in September 2023

The digital telemetry known as smartmolen, originally developed to monitor the behaviour of the cap and sails at Upminster Windmill, has now been installed at windmills across England and Germany. This enables remote monitoring of the cap movements relative to the wind conditions. Current conditions at each mill, and the directions their sails are facing, can be viewed at www.smartmolen.com
