Full Description
The Windmill in Rippingale was a multi-functional site including agricultural buildings, a bakery and a house that served both as a dwelling and an inn. The complex of structures were added to and probably altered over time. The main buildings date to the early nineteenth century and were originally associated with an adjacent corn windmill which was demolished in 1923. By 1888 The Windmill is identified as an inn. The house has a double-pile plan with double shallow pitched tile roofs and is built of brick. The main, east elevation is of three bays, symmetrically arranged with a central front door flanked by unhorned, 16-pane, sash windows, and with three similar windows to the first floor. The door is partially glazed and has an oblong, two-paned overlight. The windows to the rear, west elevation have two or three lights with timber mullions under segmental or cambered arches, suggesting this half of the house may be a later addition. To the west of the back door is a detached stone-built structure that seems to have served as the kitchen, which is linked to the back door by a lean-to conservatory. The outbuildings are of brick and stone, some with ashlar stone dressings and are attached to both north and south gable ends of the house. They form a courtyard to the west of the house, partly open to the north. The outbuildings to the north of the house appear to be the oldest. These outbuildings include brick-built cartsheds and possibly a wash-house, containing a brick hearth with circular top opening for a copper. To the north-west of the yard is a brick cartshed attached to which is a brick range that may have been stables. Overall the complex is an evolved, rather than a planned, farmstead, and is probably a multi-functional smallholding. The buildings had been unoccupied for some time and were due to be demolished in 2013. They were considered for listing by English Heritage but were not listed. {1}{2}{3}{4}
