Description

This is a four-storey square water tower designed to resemble a church bell tower. It is built from local rubble with red brick voussoirs, featuring a hipped slate roof and overhanging eaves, as well as stepped diagonal buttresses. The tower has a round-headed louvred opening at the top and narrow rectangular lights below. Access to the tower is provided by a round-headed doorway reached by stone steps, with a similar doorway leading to the basement on the right. Originally, there was an iron-railed walkway around the top storey. Attached to the tower are buttressed garden walls that extend north, including a large rustic stone archway that opens into the main transverse path.
