A major step forward has been taken towards the complete restoration of Wheatley's historic windmill.
The windmillA 'cap', costing £34,000, was lowered on to the main building to mark National Mills Day.
Hugo Brunner, Lord Lieutenant of Oxfordshire, was among those who attended the ceremony, and the mill was open to the public. Work has been going on since the restoration society was formed 25 years ago.
The fitting of the cap itself is the culmination of three years' work.
The next stage is to fit the sails to the cap.
