Cally Bathhouse and Cistern, Cally Estate

This rustic bath house is beside a stream on sloping ground in woodland to the east of the walled garden at Cally Palace Hotel. The bath house is likely to date to the early 19th century or possibly the late 18th century. It is built of mixed stone rubble. The entrance is in the northeast elevation and has a rough tooled ashlar doorway and cast iron pins for a door or iron grille which has been removed. The roof and sides of the building are covered with piled earth and turf.

The interior (seen 2017) is a single room of around 2 x 3 metres with a barrel vaulted ceiling of red brick. The room contains a sunken, lead-lined bath of 180 x 90 centimetres and 67 centimetres deep. The bath is fed by a continuous flow of water via a below-ground cistern/settling tank to the east (rear) of the building, passing into the bath through an overflow pipe. There are two outlet pipes, one above the other, on the downhill side of the bath. The lower pipe runs to a below-ground stopcock valve to the west. The pipework is predominantly of cast iron with some lead sections.
