Windmills in Sussex: A description of the construction and operation of windmills exemplified by up-to-date notes on the still existing windmills, by Rev. Peter Hemming, M.A., published 1936 (xvii + 138 pp. & 71 photgraphic illus., London: C. W. Daniel Co.) accessible at: R.I.B.A. Library & West Sussex Libraries & East Sussex Libraries
Review in Sussex Notes and Queries, May 1936:The long descriptive title of this book explains its object very completely. The illustrations are plentiful and good. The chapter which deals with the mechanical process of milling and with the various types of mill, gives a most interesting account of the methods used, being thorough but not too technical for the ordinary reader.
Windmills are a beautiful feature in the country scene, but the rapidity with which they are disappearing points to the time being at hand when they will have gone completely from sight. Their part in the present economy of life is already nearly absorbed by mechanical methods of another type.
Mr. Hemming is full of enthusiasm for his subject and, indeed, the whole-hearted pursuit of any one line of knowledge invariably leads to a wider circle of information. This book will interest many who may care to follow in Mr. Hemming's tracks.
