Description
The Watch House, also known as the Engine House, is located on Church Street in Ewell and dates from the 18th century or early 19th century. It is constructed from hamnerdressed greensand mixed with brick, and was formerly rendered. The building is a single storey and features a full-width blind segmental arch that encloses two doorways, with a barred window situated between them. The left-hand door is planked and fitted with strap hinges and an iron grille, while the right-hand door is similar but does not have a grille. At the top, there is a plain capped parapet with a central shaped panel. The Watch House is part of a group that includes the Church of St Michael, Hidden Cottage, and Nos 2 to 10 (even).
