A traditional windmill at Wilton, Wiltshire, has been getting its annual spring clean.
The windmill, near Marlborough, is the only working windmill in Wessex and still produces wholemeal, stone-ground flour.
Volunteers from the Wilton Windmill Society have been getting the tower mill, which was built in 1871, ready for spring and summer visitors.
