This Windmill was originally built in Farningham, Kent, and was was moved to West Kingsdown, in 1880 [1]

It appears to be on a private farm, so we didn't approach too closely as we didn't want to invade anyone's privacy. However, further research shows [2] that it is actually owned by Kent County Council

At present it has no sails

The co-ordinates given are for the end of the lane leading to the mill
