Gothic Tower North West Of Hartwell House

The Gothic tower, built around 1730 and attributed to James Gibbs, is located northwest of Hartwell House. It originally stood in the 'Wilderness' of the early 18th-century garden, alongside other structures that have since been removed, but it is recorded in the Nebot paintings at the County Museum. The tower is a low circular structure made of ashlar stone, featuring a moulded plinth, cornice, and a battlemented parapet that projects out on small moulded corbels. On the north side, there is a Gothic arched opening with a moulded arch and hoodmould, which is accessed by a flight of five curved and moulded stone steps. Opposite this, there is a small quatrefoil opening.
