Description
Longworth Manor's water tower and attached stable block, located approximately 50 meters west of the house, were built around 1910. The structure is made of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and brick on the inner face, topped with a stone slate roof. The two-storey tower features two plain round-headed arches for the tack room (on the left) and stairs, along with a two-light stone mullioned cavetto-moulded stair-light and a splayed slit window at the top, all under a cross-gabled roof. The stable block is a single storey with a six-window range, which includes stone lintels over leaded one-light centre-hung windows and six stable doors. The gabled roof has trefoiled stone ventilators. The interior has not been inspected.
