From Chicklade And Pertwood, A Short Parish History by E.R. Barty, M.A., Chicklade, Old Rectory, first published December 1955:
Windmill Piece is named on an Award map of Chicklade 1838, which was shown to us by the County Archivist. At the top of the hill on the Chicklade-Hindon road is a small enclosure, surrounded by a hedge. There is a well within the enclosure. This site was eminently suited for a windmill. It seems that Nathan Wright and his wife owned Windmill House from 1788-1790 and that afterwards Mrs. Randall and others were owners and the Parish paid rent to them for certain tenants.
