The water tower, by architect Thomas Garner, dates from around 1885. The Victorian Society said in its description of the privately owned structure: "The striking, two-storey water tower at Bosworth Park, nestled within a walled garden beside the former orangery, is both an architectural gem and a relic of Victorian ingenuity."

"Originally supplying the grand Bosworth Hall with water drawn from natural springs and distributed by gravity, the tower continues to serve the estate - now a hotel. An undated water system plan shows it fed the kitchen offices, stables, wash house, and WC."

However, the building has been named among the country's top 10 most endangered Victorian buildings. Bosworth Park Water Tower is a Grade II-listed structure, but the brickwork is crumbling and it stands overlooking a walled garden which is also in need of restoration.
