Water Tower Approximately Five Metres To North Of Hartforth Hall

The water tower, located approximately five metres north of Hartforth Hall, was built in the late 19th century for Major Sheldon Cradock. It is constructed from ashlar and coursed rubble and features a three-storey square plan. The ground floor has two solid walls and two open round-arched openings, which are framed with ashlar architraves and supported by ashlar piers, with an impost band. The upper storeys are made of coursed rubble and include quoins, as well as two decorative bands between the first and second storeys. On the second floor, there are keyed oculi with architraves on all sides, housing a clock. The tower is topped with a cornice, a band, a parapet, and ball finials at each corner. A plaque on the ground floor indicates that the clock was installed in 1902 by Major Sheldon Cradock to commemorate his family's involvement in the Boer War. Access to the water tank was provided by a flight of stone steps from the stable courtyard, which is situated at a higher level, with the tower occupying one corner of this courtyard.
