Details

EPSOM 1. 1086 WOODCOTE GREEN Water Tank a few yards North west of Woodcote House Court TQ 2059 34/363 II

2. 1706. Lead. Oblong, with slightly bowed ends. Moulded plinth and cornice. Relief decoration on 2 short and 1 long sides, consisting of a band of foliage with small closed coronets and armorial goats above, and large cartouches below (2 on long side, 1 each on short), each with shouldered corners, scrolled sides, cornucopia above, Borrominesque grotesque masks below, and husk festoons, putti, and marine creatures within. Between the cartouches are the date 1706, the initials EAN, a fleur-de-lys, and a leaping fish. The initials are presumably those of Sir Edward Northey, builder of Woodcote House, Woodcote Green, and the tank was allegedly taken from his London stables to its present situation in 1896.
