GV II

Sheepwash. Probably C17. Enclosure of Bembridge stone walls
about 3 feet in height. On one side is a late C18 or early C19
horseshoe-shaped arch lined with 2 courses of brick voussoirs
with some ironstone. On the other side is a narrow channel
about 2 feet wide with grooves for gate. A sheepwash here is
mentioned in 1640 in a survey of Swainston Manor and again in
1842 in a Tithe Commission Survey. In the middle of the C18
the owner of Westover tried to make the local farmers pay for
its upkeep but they took him to court and won. The last sheep
dip took place in 1975. A A rare survival.
