Landmarks
New Bolingbroke Church, dedicated to St Peter, was built in 1854 by Samuel Sanders Teulon.[2] It is a Grade II listed building.[3]
The village hall was built in the 1820s when John Parkinson established New Bolingbroke as a market town.[4] It is a Grade II listed building.[5]
The Crescent, a curved line of red-brick shops and houses, was built in 1823 by John Parkinson to house the workers of his weaving factory; the houses are now all privately owned.[6] The Crescent is Grade II listed.[7]
New Bolingbroke had two working windmills. One, Rundles Mill, is Grade II Listed and dates from the mid-19th century, and has been disused since at least 1906.[8] Made of red brick, it is a tower mill.[9] The other, Watkinsons Mill, dates from 1821 and is also Grade II listed.[10] It was working until 1944 when the weather beam broke. It continued with an engine for a time, but today only the stump remains, which is used as a store.[11]
