Hi,  High Ham Mill in Somerset has a fireplace.  Also Wheatley mill in Buckinghamshire I think has two fireplaces.

You probably know that Hibaldstow, Lincs, a wind-and-watermill - to quote Dolman “...a fireplace, the chimney of which emerges above the stage”.

Yes there is still a fireplace in Tuxford windmill. I think the chimneys of Hibaldstow mill emerged at stage level, not above i.e. in the mill tower. Wimbledon common hollow postmill has several chimneys still in place although I dont know if they were there when it was a working mill.
