Description

The water tower, located about 300 metres south of Hewell Grange, was built in the late 19th century, likely by the architectural firm Bodley and Garner. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar and features a pyramidal shingle roof. The tower has a square plan and stands four storeys high, separated by string courses, with pilaster buttresses at the corners. The attic is illuminated by gabled dormers, while the top storey is blind, covered with shingle cladding to conceal the water tank. The ground and first floors each have a stone cross window, and the second storey includes a small square-headed window on each side. This tower is prominently situated at the top of a series of grass steps that lead up from the French Garden.
