Sussex heritage site awarded £1,000 prize

Paul continues: “Over the last two years, our volunteers have repaired all four of Jill Windmill’s Sweeps. As Jill Windmill is a Grade 2* listed building, we are required to use traditional materials, including specialised paints, as well as the assistance of a crane to help us with the fitting and removal of Jill’s Sweeps. The funds from Taylor Wimpey’s Community Chest will go towards this additional unbudgeted cost, as well as vital rope access equipment.”

Louise Adams, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey South Thames, said: “Giving back to the communities in which we build new homes is something we are passionate about and we are delighted to announce Jack and Jill Windmills Society as the winner of our recent competition. The windmills are an incredibly unique attraction for the local area and we are happy to lend our support to the incredible team of volunteers that ensure Jill Windmill remains in good condition.”

We are currently building a brand-new community in Hassocks called Ockley Park, which will consist of 2, 3, and 5 bedroom homes. More information about the development can be found here.
