Damaged Lincolnshire windmill to be repairedpublished at 15:00 British Summer Time 20 October 2020
A Lincolnshire windmill which was damaged by wind earlier this year will eventually be repaired, it's been confirmed.
Dobson's Mill at Burgh Le Marsh lost its sails during Storm Ciara in February.
Last week, Historic England said the site was now on the national At Risk register.
However, the Burgh Le Marsh Heritage Committee says it should have the windmill back up and running again as soon as the insurance money has been paid out.
However, Malcolm Ringsell, the committee's treasurer warns that could still take "some years":
Quote MessageThe whole situation this year has put everything back a little bit. The initial clearing up of the damage and the initial repairs to make the place waterproof took longer than they should have done because of Covid restrictions and lack of materials."

Image source, GoogleRestore Church’s application to Boston Borough Council to change the use of the old Dunelm store on West Street details plans for a "sanctuary", including sleeping pods, use as a night shelter and a kickboxing room and store.
The plans will form an “accessible community hub” which will provide outreach and residential support for vulnerable adults and the homeless, documents show.
Project Manager Emma Fawcett said: "The Sanctuary will act as a central point where agencies can come together to support those in need in a holistic way.
"It will provide long-term supported and hostel-style accommodation, multi-agency meeting space, community cafe, social supermarket and space for social enterprise schemes."
Organisers say the aims will be “to end homelessness” locally and to “bridge the gap between time-limited supporting accommodation and permanent independent housing”.
It will be staffed 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week and will offer advice and support, the plans say.
