Chesterton Windmill, nr Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire.

This was a long way for us to go to record a crop circle, so any donations would be welcome at this moment in time. Just after we photographed this formation it was gone, as the farmer harvested the field. Donate HERE - thank you.

This circle was reported on the 26th of July and is in a field immediately adjacent to Chesterton Windmill, nr the village of Chesterton Green, just a few miles south of Royal Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The formation measures approximately 200ft in diameter and is a 6-fold star (or windmill) design, with some interesting design features. The circle is in a field of very mature wheat and contains some very pretty floor-lays in several of its circular components.

Location: Chesterton Windmill had a unique and very attractive design. Built in 1632-33, the windmill itself sits on top of a circular building with six arches.

This is a six-armed stylised star. Each arm is like an old-fashioned dumbbell crop circle design – seen in the early 1990s – one arm even has a ‘key’ another classical design feature. They also each have a series of 4 boxes, two each side of each arm – yet another feature from the classic crop circle design canon. However, it is also mixed with more modern design features such as multi-directional lays and weaving of the crop; the centre circle of the formation contains a beautiful six-armed star (or flower) woven into the laid crop. The design of the arms also has thin, standing pathways within them, something we saw in several formations last year (2017) at; Cherhill, Stanton St Bernard and Langdean Bottom. While the Chesterton Windmill has only 4 blades (or sails) and the crop circle has six arms, one is not a perfect reflection of the other, but the fact that the circle does have arms around a central circle does seem to echo the windmill in a strange way.

There is a lot of information about the conference on our website – click HERE

You’ll find our conference is a little less about entertainment and more about community and collegiality. It’s an event where the crop circles are not only enjoyed and celebrated, but where people can come and join in the conversation, share their experiences and participate in a more inclusive and collaborative way. As important as the circles themselves are the people who are drawn to them, often full of experiences and stories, insight and wisdom. It is they (in addition to our speakers) that make up the ‘body conference’. 

We welcome anyone who has an interest in the crop circles, beginners, veterans and everyone in between. We open our conference on the Friday with an ‘Introduction to the Crop Circle Phenomenon’ and offer two workshops, one the ‘Geometry of the Crop Circles’ and one on ‘Crop Circles and Consciousness’. The Friday programme is a great primer for the weekend.
