Built of brick between 1780 and 1790 and disused for the past 100 years, with flint facing, standing 250 yards NW of the main building. NE facing entrance opens into a tunnel. Sited in chalk, and no sign of drainage is apparent. The building was once used to store rainwater and to provide water for cattle in the park, as a pipe leading from the main house is visible. (1)
