Description
The tower in the former stableyard of Chaulden House is a mid-19th century octagonal structure. It is built of flint rubble with red brick quoins and semi-cylindrical angle mouldings. The tower features a pyramidal roof covered in Welsh slate, with an eaves cornice supported by console angle brackets. At the top, there is an octagonal wooden lantern adorned with colonnettes and a weather vane. The entrance has a pointed arch, and there are slit windows along with dummy windows. Above the arches, conch shells are set into the flint rubble, and pointed arched pigeon holes are arranged above the windows on three sides in three rows: the lowest has three lights, the central row has two lights, and the upper row has one light beneath a conch shell. A continuous band of shells runs below the brick frieze. This tower is included in the listing as a curiosity.
