Cranbrook Windmill Pendant Decoration

Cranbrook Windmill Hanging Pendant Decoration

Cranbrook Windmill ceramic pendant has been created from original artwork by North East artist Emily Ward. This lovely hanging decoration has been hand pressed locally in her studio near Newcastle.

Emily’s art pendant portrays Cranbrook Windmill in a bright and lively style, combining historic architecture with a burst of colour. The tall smock mill, painted in shades of cream and grey with hints of shadow, rises proudly with its wide sails stretching across the ceramic pendant.

The sky is a wash of soft blues and purples, flecked with splashes of pink, yellow, and violet, creating a dreamy atmosphere. In the foreground, a meadow of wildflowers bursts into life, depicted with scattered dots and strokes of purples, blues, yellows, and greens.

The contrast between the solid, enduring windmill and the playful, colourful setting gives Emily's art a sense of both history and joy, transforming a rural landmark into a scene full of charm and vitality.

Cranbrook Windmill

Cranbrook Windmill, also known as Union Mill, is one of the most famous landmarks in Kent and the tallest surviving smock mill in the United Kingdom. Built in 1814, it stands at over 70 feet high and was originally powered by wind to grind corn into flour for the local community. Its distinctive white-painted wooden structure, tapering towards a cap fitted with large sweeping sails, dominates the skyline of the historic town of Cranbrook.

Carefully preserved and still in working order, Cranbrook Windmill offers visitors the chance to see traditional milling machinery and learn about the vital role it once played in local life. Today, Union Mill remains both a heritage attraction and a symbol of Cranbrook, reflecting the town’s rural history and engineering ingenuity.
