Thieves have stolen a rare oil engine, which was being restored to grind corn at a traditional windmill in Lincolnshire.

The 1923 Hornsby oil engine, complete with trailer, was stolen from Sibsey Trader Mill, near Boston.

Manager Ian Ansell said he feared the thieves planned to sell it on for scrap and have urged local dealers to contact police if they are offered any unusual parts.
