Lacey Green Windmill (Wiki)

Lacey Green is a village and civil parish within Wycombe district near Princes Risborough, in Buckinghamshire, England. It is located in the Chiltern Hills above the town. It was home to Heston Blumenthal - whose parents used to own many local (to this area) amusement arcades. RAF Bomber Command commandeered some agricultural land for an airfield during World War II. The land has now reverted to agriculture, the school playing field and the village sports ground. The village has lost its methodist chapel, shop and sub-post office but still retains a sports club, primary school, two pubs (three if you include The Pink and Lily at Parslow's Hillock), Village Hall and of course, the windmill. The hamlet was known as Leasy Green in the early 19th century. It is twinned with Hambye in France. Source: Wiki
