Wavertree Windmill

Wavertree Mill was a fifteenth-century windmill which stood in Wavertree, Liverpool, England. As a post mill, the wooden superstructure could be rotated on its base to catch the wind, by means of a projecting pole attached to a cartwheel.
First recorded in 1452, the mill was the property of the crown until 1639, when Charles I granted it to James Stanley, then known as Lord Strange. By 1676, the mill was in the possession of James Stanley's grandson, William. The new owners retained the right of soke, meaning that their tenants were forbidden to have their corn ground at any other mill. In 1768, the ownership of the mill passed to Bamber Gascoyne of Childwall Hall. It was subsequently owned by the Marquess of Salisbury, and was finally leased by Colonel James Bourne.
