North Leverton windmill was built in 1813 by local farmers to mill their grain.

The mill is located in North Leverton, Nottinghamshire.

The mill has three floors and is built to the Lincolnshire style. It has four patent shuttered sails mounted on a cross, an Ogee cap and an eight bladed fantail. There are thee sets of millstones, two of which are wind-driven, and one set driven from an external engine/tractor.

In 1884, the mill was extended and gained an extra floor. The windmill has continued to work through all of its life, making it unique.

The windmill is entirely maintained by a group of volunteers, and is open to the public every Saturday throughout the year. Admission is free but there is a donation box towards the upkeep of the mill. There are open weekends in the summer with a wide variety of attractions for visitors to see.
