William Winlaw was an 18th-century English agricultural machinery inventor and manufacturer with a factory in Margaret Street, Cavendish Square, London.[2][3][4]
Winlaw produced machine equipment and implements used in agriculture and husbandry.[5] He invented and patented many new machines and pieces of equipment in the late 18th century.[6][7][8] Examples include:[9]
- A mill for separating grain from corn[10]
- A spring and index fixed to a whippletree[11]

At the time of his death in 1796, William Winlaw was described as the "Engine-maker to the Prince of Wales and Duke of Clarence", namely Prince George (1762–1830), later King George IV, and Duke William (1765–1837), later King William IV.[13][4] Winlaw's Will is held by the National Archives in the United Kingdom.[14]
