Description
This is a 19th-century water tower located about 60 metres south of the Church of St Leonard in Farleigh Hungerford. It is constructed from coursed rubble Doulting stone and features a conical stone slate roof topped with a Bath stone, crocketed finial. The tower has a diameter of approximately 2.5 metres and stands 5 metres high. It includes three iron inspection plates and an iron depth indicator mechanism. The water tower was supplied by a river power-driven pump from a fresh water spring, using a 50 mm cast iron pipe, and was used until recently to provide domestic water to Farleigh Hungerford. Additionally, there is a cast iron hydrant column about 1 metre high, which has a fluted and domed top with a lion mask design.
