The remains of William Champion's windmill are part of the museum building.
This is a rare surviving industrial windmill. It was never used to grind corn but to grid the ores from which cooper and zinc were acquired. The tower is complete but the floors which were in situ until the early twentieth century are now gone, as are the cap and sails.
