Built in 1778 as a tower mill. Converted in the 19th century to a water tower by increasing the height and adding a tank on the top. It supplied the town until the 1940s and retained the tank until conversion to its present state as a dwelling in the 1970s. Views to the Cotswolds, reputedly. With water tank, in 1944: https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/photos/item/BB77/11666 (External link - Historic England)
