Description
The water tower, built around 1913-1914, is likely designed by Edward White of Milner, White and Son for Lord Cable. It features rock-faced rusticated grey Devon limestone with a timber superstructure and a Bridgwater tile hipped roof topped with concrete crested ridge tiles. The structure has a square plan in a Chinese style, with large blind round arches on each side and a cambered arch doorway on the northeast side. The top of the tower is corbelled out, supported by curved timber brackets that hold up a large timber gallery. This gallery is adorned with a chinoisserie timber balustrade and posts that support the pyramidal roof forming the canopy of the gallery. The water tower serves as an elaborate detached feature for a country house, likely created during the remodelling of the gardens at Lindridge Park.
