Full Description

{1} The brick water tower formerly served both Guilsborough Hall and the village. On the ground floor the builders utilised part of an existing stone structure which possibly fulfilled the same function or was perhaps a folly or eyecatcher for Guilsborough Hall. The tower stands on its own circular platform, towards the western end of a larger mound.

{2} Brick water tower.
