An unusual survivor, with extensive construction, thought to be the second-oldest surviving in Britain, dating from the late 17th century.

Sheep washing was performed in early summer to clean the winter accumulation of grease, etc., in the fleece, and pre-dated the practice of sheep-dipping which was a pest-control measure.

Many such washes would simply be a dam in a stream, but at Thurgarton a 'pulpit' was provided in the middle of the stream for the man doing the washing so that he did not have to stand in the water.
