    In 1857 Sir Moses Montefiore built a Kentish windmill overlooking the Holy City of Jerusalem. Today more than 150 years later, it is alive and kicking though not quite as Sir Moses could have expected! Here’s the story:

    In pursuit of his philanthropic activities, Sir Moses Montefiore visited the Holy Land seven times between 1827 and 1874 and endeavoured to bring industry to the area by introducing a printing press and a textile factory. He also helped found several agricultural colonies.
