The old windmill at Broad Eye in Stafford was the subject of an excellent talk by Irene Phillips in June. We started with an illustrated look at the very early history of Stafford as a town and it’s later development. Irene then described the motivation for building a windmill in the town and the detail of its construction. Next month in July we have our AGM followed by the summer buffet on 10th August.We normally meet at 7:30pm on the first Tuesday of the month in Hopton village hall.
