Description
The Engine House at Cobham Hall is a horse-powered engine house built in 1789 by Samuel Lapidge. It features red brick in irregular bond with Roman cement details. The structure is octagonal, with a square engine house at the rear. The octagonal section originally housed a horse-powered pump. The roof was missing at the time of the survey. The building has a Roman cement parapet, cornice, and buttresses. The square part includes an arched entrance and lancet windows on the sides, while the octagonal section has some lancet windows as well. At the time of the survey, there was a large gash in the brickwork. This building is exceptionally rare due to its early date for a pump house and its use of horse power.
