- The tower was built in 1899 by the owner of Idsworth House to supply water to his Estate, including Rowlands Castle.
- The water pumped into the water tower was derived from Bedhampton springs.
- The provision of water supplies was taken over by Portsmouth Water in 1929 and that marked the end of the life of this water tower.
