[1] The windmills stand atop the South Downs with views of the Sussex Weald.

[2] Jill is a post mill originally built in Dyke Road, Brighton, in 1821.

[3] A painting by Nash dated 1839 and an engraving in the Handbook to Brighton (1847) show her to have had a roof mounted Fantail, similar to the arrangement still found on Icklesham windmill.

She lost her fantail and sails over the years until in 1953 restoration was carried out by E Hole and Son, the Burgess Hill millwrights, funded by Cuckfield Rural District Council.

Some members of the Windmill Society were able to get to the mill and save her by carrying water up the hill to put the fire out.

[6] Today, Jill is in working order and open to the public most Sundays between May and September.

On the occasions when the wind is blowing and Jill is in operation, a guide is available to explain the process of milling.

Together, the buildings connect Jack and Jill windmills on a straight axis, opening up views throughout the site.

[11] References for above:-[2][3][4][7] In summer 1973, Jack and Jill became cinema stars when Universal Pictures made the film The Black Windmill.

Actors featured in the film included Michael Caine, Janet Suzman, Donald Pleasence and Joss Ackland.

[12] New sweeps were fitted to Jack for the film, at a cost of £3,000 and the exterior of the mill was repainted.

The owner of Jack at the time of the film was Henry Longhurst, golf broadcaster and writer.

The windmills were featured in Series 3 of the Channel 4 programme "Treasure Hunt" first broadcast 31 January 1985.
