Taken when the new stocks were fitted to the windmill in April 2017.  One of the stocks broke on 1st July 2016, and one sail crashed to the ground and was destroyed.  Two new stocks and one new sail were made by David Empringham, and the stocks and all four sails fitted on 26th April 2017.

The fan blades were painted red and blue to mark the Queen’s 90th birthday in 2016. See article in Oxford Mail: https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/14551501.paint-job-wheatley-windmill-mark-queen-turning-90/
