Appleton Water Tower

The Appleton Water Tower is a Victorian water tower located in Sandringham, Norfolk. It was constructed in 1877 at the behest of the then Prince George, to improve the quality of the water supply to the nearby Sandringham House and its estate. Accommodation was provided within the tower on the ground and first floors for the water tower custodian, whilst the second floor above the water tank provides a viewing platform. All floors are served by a spiral staircase adjoining the tower.[1]

The site today is leased and operated by the Landmark Trust; it functions as a single-suite specialty hotel.[2]
