PARISH OF OSMASTON OFF LIME AVENUE (West Side) Tower and attached walls, forming enclosure to Kitchen Gardens to Osmaston Manor

GV II

Tower and walls forming enclosure to former kitchen gardens to Osmaston Manor. Late 1840s by Stevens of Derby. Red brick, coursed squared rock-faced limestone and sandstone dressings. Walls form two enclosures, a rectangle to the north and a polygonal enclosure to south. Red brick walls with stone copings and rock-faced limestone piers with bracketed caps. Taller entrance piers to north and south. Similar cross wall dividing the two enclosures. These have brick lean-to sheds with slate roofs and coped gables with moulded kneelers. The south facing walls of each enclosure have remains of lean-to glass houses of wood and cast iron. The walls were left with a cavity for heating purposes. In the centre of the cross wall a tall stone faced tower. Externally this has a pronounced batter at the base, low buttresses to west and east, topped by carved scrolls. Steps up to round-arched entrance to north. Two slit windows above, then a moulded stringcourse. Top stage has a three bay Italianate open arcade to each face with a similar decorative blind arcade below. Further moulded stringcourse and parapet. The inner walls are circular and of brick, with a spiral cast iron stair enclosing a circular brick chimney. The tower served as the outlet for the central heating system and for all the fireplaces in Osmaston Manor, which originally had an experimental heating system whereby all the chimney flues were taken underground to a single main flue.
