Winter's Tower, also known as Combe Wood Lodge/Tower, was built in around 1750 for local landowner John Winter. A wealthy resident of nearby Bishops Lydeard, he wanted to build an "eyecatcher" which could be seen from his house, which would also double as accommodation for his gamekeeper and as a place from which to spy on his neighbours and enemies, the Lethbridges of Sandhill Park. The imposing tower is five storeys high and constructed from rendered local sandstone.
