The Jill Windmill on top of Clayton Down, near Hassocks, is enjoying a summer break and makeover.
Michael Peat, a member of the preservation society looking after the 170-year-old mill, said: "We have taken two sails down for renovation and repairs.
"One has been fitted with a new shutters and we have the other to do on Saturday, depending on the weather.
"They are all lead-painted and stand the weather really well."
Mr Peat said Jill - the mill has a twin called Jack nearby - should be back in full working order by the end of October.
