Restoration Projects
There have been several restoration projects carried out in different parts of the Grade II listed early 18th century Water Tower. The first that we know of was the work completed after World War II bomb damage. Since that time The Daughters of the Cross, then the Carshalton Water Tower Trust and now Carshalton Water Tower and Historic Garden Trust have worked on many projects with the assistance of the Friends.
