Pakenham is famous as the last British village with both a working watermill and windmill, on a site where corn has been ground for 900 years. A picture of the 18th/19th century brick tower windmill was once used as an interlude scene in BBC TV programmes. The village also has a 12th century church with a splendid 14th century font. There is also a false window in the vicarage painted by Rex Whistler during World War Two.
