Heckington Windmill is located between Sleaford and Boston in Lincolnshire, which stands very close to Heckington Railway Station, hence previously it was known as Station Mill. This building was built in the year 1830 and was planned by Edward Ingeldew. This Windmill has six floors: ground floor, meal floor, stone floor, lower bin floor, upper bin floor and dust floor.

This windmill was built in the year 1830 with five sails, afterwards plenty of improvements were done in the year 1890 and sails of this windmill were increased from five to eight. Now, this windmill has the honor of being the last remaining eight sail windmill in United Kingdom. First owner of this windmill was Michael Hareand later on it was operated by Sleighton and Joseph Nash for forty years

and due to sudden tailwind, sails of this windmill got destroyed and Nash brothers left the windmill. Later new owner John Pocklington introduced eight-blade fantail. After Pocklington’s Death in the year 1943, the county council bought the windmill in the year 1953.
