As part of a conservation project to bring, eighteenth century, Kibworth Harcourt Windmill (Leicestershire) back into working order the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings commissioned Triskele Heritage to record the historic graffiti within the building. Fieldwork took place in May 2021 and yielded numerous inscriptions which included names and dates made by millwrights, visitors and craftspeople alongside apotropaic graffiti which related to folk traditions concerned with the aversion of bad luck from the structure.
Alongside our archaeological report, outputs from the project will include press articles with the BBC and Leicester Mercury, an appearance on Radio Leicester (interview begins @ 2:24:50)a public lecture in September 2021 and a short documentary which can be watched here:
