Description

The Water Tower, located in the northeast corner of the churchyard, was built between 1733 and 1735 and is made of red brick. It consists of two oval-shaped sections, with the lower section featuring a coved brick roof that forms a half dome. This section is topped by the upper section, which has a tiled roof with a lead ridge and a pointed wooden pinnacle. On the east and west sides of the upper section, there are rectangular openings with segmental heads that contain wooden shutters, each with an oval opening in the center. Additionally, there is a lead pump attached to the tower, which is dated 1826. The Water Tower is part of a group that includes Nos 1 to 5 (odd) and Nos 2 to 12 (even).
