It was not until the last quarter of the 12th century that wind power began to be used on a wide scale and the earliest known windmill in Wiltshire was at Ebbesbourne Wake, in the south of the county, in 1248.
However, although windmills would have been a common enough sight for travellers, Wiltshire saw little more than a hundred built in the next six centuries and even at the windmills' hey-day, the turn of the 18th century, as little as twenty may have been in use at any date.
Wilton was the last to work by wind alone, finally closing just prior to the First World War.

Wilton Windmill, the only operating in Wiltshire, was built in 1821 after the Kennet and Avon Canal Co. had taken the water out of the River Bedwyn for their canal, thereby depriving the water millers of the power to drive their mills, and the consequent loss to the local community of these facilities.
The windmill is open from Easter to the end of September on Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays from 2-5 pm, but you can still find the cache when it's closed.
