Sackville Water Tower is a Grade II Listed building and was constructed in 1914 and designed by W. Vaux-Graham who was an engineer to the Water Board. The tower was constructed after St Swithun's Church was burned down and could not be put out due to low water pressure.
In 1993, the Tower was granted planning permission to convert it to a single residential dwelling. The tower is built of sandstone and, until it's conversion, consisted of a single void, 16 metres high, up to the base of the old tank which occupied the uppermost section of the tower. The square tower has angled turrets and one circular stair turret to the top floor which provided access around the tank up on to the roof level.
