Rayleigh windmill was built in 1809 for Thomas Higgs, a timber merchant of Rayleigh.
Thomas James Brown was the last to work the mill by wind in 1907. The cap and sails were removed in 1909 and the mill was worked by an electric motor until at least
1937. The mill was taken over for use as a museum opening on 16 May 1970.
Restoration of the sails was completed in 2005.
