Standpipe in Turvey
I originally described this as a fire hydrant, but another contributor has sensibly suggested that it would be better described as a standpipe, intended for providing drinking water rather than firefighting.
This example is by Glenfield & Kennedy of Kilmarnock, a very respected name in waterworks fittings (their original works was demolished in 1982: see http://www.geographyhigh.connectfree.co.uk/prinayrskilmarnockglen.html , but the name Glenfield lives on as part of the AVK Group).
For a collection of photos and huge amounts of detail of similar fittings (in the UK and Spain) see http://thegreenlionproject.blogspot.com/

Turvey Abbey: front of main building
The Abbey was originally a private house but has been the home of an Olivetan Benedictine monastic community since 1980. Link: http://www.turveyabbey.org.uk/ . This, the main house, is the nuns' quarters and not open to visitors. It dates in part from the 17th century and is grade 2 listed.
