The tower is part of Little Wittenham Manor and the bird you see channels the water off the top (I think it is a swan in flight). It was made by an sculptor who was a friend of the owner Sir Martin Wood who started off Oxford Instruments (guess where the material came from). I remember seeing him with it at the factory.
