It wasn't ever a windmill. Benedict Arnold was protecting its secrets when he identified it as such in his will of 1677. There are no historical records of it ever operating as a mill, nor was any evidence of milling discovered after an archeological excavation. The astronomical alignments designed into the tower have only come to light as of 2006, narrowing the focus of who might have possibly designed this thing, and for what purpose. The answer lies in John Dee, and the Elizabethan colonization attempt of 1583, which followed the (speculative) erection of the tower in 1582. The secrets of the tower lie in its horological properties, the gregorian calendar reform, the reformation, and the advent of new world colonization. If anyone's curious about more information, just give up. You'll spend a month reading, learn all about it, and when you try to explain, everyone will look at you like you're crazy. On the internet, people accuse you of being a conspiracy theorist, an occultist kook, an amateur fool who's been duped by some half-baked fringe history hypothesis.
