Langstone Windmill is a Grade II listed[1] tower mill at Langstone, Hampshire in England.[2] It has been converted to residential accommodation.
Langstone Mill was built around 1730.[2] It worked in conjunction with a tide mill close by.[3] The mill was derelict in 1934.[4] By 1939 it had been converted to residential accommodation, with the tower tarred and a new cap constructed.[3] The conversion was to a design by Ernst L. Freud with the first resident being Flora Twort.[5]
