The cap was removed from the Windmill in December 2016 by IJP Millwrights of Henley-on-Thames in order to replace the rotten weatherbeam and carry out other essential repairs to the cap. These repairs are now complete and the restored cap has been returned to pride of place at the top of the Windmill.
The following photos were taken in early March 2017 and show the work being done as part of the cap restoration.
