The owners of this beautiful Kent windmill have not only seen it painstakingly restored but have reinstated a valuable local symbol of a once-thriving rural industry .As a contemporary landscape artist Clare Winchester has an unerring eye for the interesting beautiful or traditional features that help to define a rural view.
