Description
The Tunnel Waterway in Barn Wood is a Grade II listed structure, likely built around 1750 by Thomas Wright. This limestone vaulted tunnel measures approximately 10 meters in length and features a barrier or weir at its northern end, which is thought to be part of a decorative waterway connected to a collection pool in the landscaped grounds of Stoke Park Dower House. It is also part of a designed walking route within the park. The tunnel is 1.5 meters wide and 2 meters high, constructed with regular limestone courses and a shaped voussoir vault. There is an opening or skylight located about halfway along the tunnel. At the eastern end, a flat upright slab serves as a weir overflow, and the floor is paved with Pennant slabs. The stonework at both ends appears rough and may have originally been more finely dressed.
