Vincent Pargeter the Essex County Council millwright explains how the mill works and shows Roger the restoration work he has undertaken on behalf of Essex County Council. The mill is located in the attractive village of Stock Harvard near Chelmsford. It is an ancient mill site which in the nineteenth century housed no fewer than three windmills. Stock Tower Mill was built by William Moss some time between 1801 and 1802 and became the centre of a thriving business. The tower is of brick construction supporting a wooden cap carrying the sails and fantail. Finally we see Stock Tower Mill working once again after remaining idle for sixty years."
