pumps
Heath, Nr Wakefield, North Yorkshire NMR Number: SE 32 SE 20.For centuries before piped water became generally available there occurred the occasional ambitious and ingenious scheme to bring it to the dwelling of the rich or influential.
In 1505 Richard de Wombwell, prior of Nostell, had conduit pipes laid from a well in Ryhill to take its water to the Priory (now a National Trust property). The well-head, recently restored, remains a feature of the landscape today.
About a hundred years later, this tower was erected above a natural spring and pumped fresh water via a water wheel to Old Heath Hall on the hill above. Mystery and wonder surround it as much today as it did in the 1600’s. Both modern and ancient pagans consider the spring sacred and Dame Mary is said to have dabbled in witchcraft. She asked that the room where she died (in 1662) in the old hall should be sealed. When it was unsealed, 50 years later, it is claimed that her ghost appeared and proceeded to haunt the surrounding heath.
Lady Bolles (1579-1662) owned the Heath estate from 1635 until her death at the age of 80, having purchased the Hall from the Kay family. First married to Thomas Jobson of Cudworth and, after his death, to Thomas Bolles of Osberton, Notts, she was created a baronetess by Charles I. Lady Bolles’s will, made in the year she died, refers to “the water tower or conduit, which she lately built, with the lead works and iron works belonging to it.”
The system was an unusual, perhaps even unique. The spring fed into a cistern from which, in turn, water flowed to power an 18-foot wheel. This provided the force to pump some of the water to the top of the tower from which height it would pass, probably by means of an overhead, lead-lined conduit, to the gateway at the old Hall.
Here, a further building, designed with the appearance of a gatehouse or lodge, held the huge storage cistern. This building, of a similar style and stonework to the water tower, like other of the outbuildings at the Hall, bears Lady Bolles’s coat of arms.
How long the system functioned is not known, but it may well have survived into the 19th century, though not, apparently, beyond the 1830s.
Lady Green, whose book, The Old Hall at Heath 1568- was published in 1889, refers to the tower and spring: “This spring used to be a very copious and never-failing stream, but it is much diminished by the sinking of a coal pit that tapped the water bearing stratum; nevertheless, it is excellent in colour and quality.”
The spring does, in fact, still flow with perhaps no greater loss of force than Lady Green records.
The tower stimulates considerable curiosity but its real nature is even more striking than its strange isolation suggests since it is a very early survival of English skill in hydraulic engineering.

Lake Ozark has one contested race for Alderman in Tuesday’s municipal election.
Jeff Van Donsel
Occupation: My wife and I are owners of the Rockwood Resort Motel in Lake Ozark.
How long have you lived in Lake Ozark?
We retired in 2001 from the corporate world and moved to Lake Ozark and purchased the Rockwood at that time. I am a native of Camdenton, Mo., Education in K.C., Kan., public schools with continued studies in Hydraulic Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Labor Management. Retired in 2001 as Manager of Finishing Operations at Fairbanks Morse Pump Corp. in Kansas City, Kansas after 30 years, and moved to Lake Ozark.
Do you have any prior political experience?
I have served on all City committees- Planning & Zoning Committee, Utility Commission, Finance Board, TIF Commission, Lake Ozark Betterment Committee and since 2006 I have had the honor of serving as Alderman of Ward 3. I am on the Board of Directors of the Bagnell Dam Strip Association, a member of the Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, Tri-County Lodging Association and the Convention & Visitors Bureau.
What inspired you to run for the Board of Aldermen?
The same reasons that I am seeking re-election now. The city has very serious issues concerning infrastructure, declining business revenues and not being in tune with what the citizens feel are important to our city. This city cannot seem to shake the good old boy politics that have caused duress for so many years. A city that is ran by consensus, and is sensitive to what the citizens feel are important is what I have worked for and is why I seek to continue to represent the citizens of Ward 3 to press on with those ideals.
If elected, what city issue do you feel is the most important to focus on?
Improvements to the infrastructure and streets in our neighborhoods. We seriously need to look at possible ways to incorporate all roads within city boundaries to city ownership and responsibility. There are too many unkempt small narrow roads, some no more than mere alleys, that are not suitable for safe passage, yet our citizens have to drive on them everyday.
We need to change policies to be more business friendly and promoting of development and investors, while protecting and enhancing the small business interests in Ward 3 and continue working to get our city focused in a cooperative, professional, fiscally responsible and positive direction.
What new initiatives and ideas do you bring to the table?
Even in tough economic times, we still need to look at ways to improve the quality of life in our city, especially for our youth. As I have stated many times before, this city needs to develop and put in action a parks and recreation commission to investigate plans and funding for the recreational needs of our community and our youth.
The mayor has recently drawn a lot of attention because of an alderman’s attempt to impeach him. How would you have voted if the motion was raised?
Did not answer question.
Where does the city go from here?
To move forward, the city needs stability and an end to the partisan political grip that again affects our city. The citizens want a clear and consistent plan for the future and want to be heard, be kept informed and know their opinions are listened to and considered relevant to the success of our community. The past three years the Board has been more scrutinizing of policy and proactive in its governance. It has taken a more active role as it should. There needs to be a more open and cooperative working relationship between the City Administrator the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen.
Bill Bolin
Occupation: Self-employed contractor
How long have you lived in Lake Ozark?
6 years
Do you have any prior political experience?
I was an alderman for Ward 3 for two years.
What inspired you to run for the Board of Aldermen?
I feel as an alderman, I can help bring stability back to the City of Lake Ozark.
If elected, what city issue do you feel is the most important to focus on?
Growth of the City through new jobs and new businesses.
What new initiatives and ideas do you bring to the table?
What I bring to the table is an open mind and a willingness to listen to all ideas and suggestions.
The mayor has recently drawn a lot of attention because of an alderman’s attempt to impeach him. How would you have voted if on the board when the motion was raised?
Since I was not on the Board and not privy to all the infornation to make a well inform decision, I feel this question can not be answered.
Where does the city go from here?
Hopefully only forward.
Sean P. Murphy
Occupation: Did not answer.
How long have you lived in Lake Ozark?
I have only lived in Lake Ozark for 2 years, but I have family that has lived here since 1985, which is how long I have been coming here.
Do you have any prior political experience?
No I do not, but it seems to me this city’s politics has become more of a circus than something to be proud of.
What inspired you to run for the Board of Aldermen?
Seeing that a change is needed. So much negative attention focused on the city because of the bickering and selfishness of some of our board members inspired me to take my chances and try to bring a fresh view to this city and its needs.
If elected, what city issue do you feel is the most important to focus on?
I feel the current issue that is most important to this city is the water/sewer situation. The citizens are under a burden of rising costs while the economy is less than ideal. We have land available to develop on in areas that do not need a lot of equipment to operate a sewer system. We need to work on getting these areas developed to help ease the citizen’s burden.
What new initiatives and ideas do you bring to the table?
This city needs to crack down on properties on the Strip that are not making efforts toward being usuable property. The Strip is becoming an eyesore. As a kid, I remember the Strip was full of life and businesses that were doing well; now, the Strip is full of ‘for sale’ and ‘for rent’ signs. This is not bringing sales tax revenue to our city and without that revenue the city will not move ahead.
The mayor has recently drawn a lot of attention because of an alderman’s attempt to impeach him. How would you have voted if on the board when the motion was raised?
I feel that when the issue was raised and the aldermen agreed to take it further, they should have followed through. I attended the meeting where the issue died and I listened as board members spoke about the problems with the mayor and what compelled them to raise the issue in the first place, but there was no follow through. If you feel there’s a problem, then don’t back down when it counts. Inconsistent leaders diminish the citizen’s faith in their future here.
Where does the city go from here?
We have a promising development brought to us by Gary Prewitt. Hopefully, with this project coming in, it will spur other developments and the HH extention that will give a new life to Lake Ozark.
Moran Rice
*Could not be reached for his profile. However, he did run for alderman last year. Using that information, here’s some background:
• Moved to Lake Ozark four years ago to start Our Place Deli.
• Has served on multiple city committees including Lake Ozark Downtown Revitalization Master Plan and Tax Increment Financing Commission as well as a number of community organizations.
• Was motivated to run for the alderman seat so he could help bring in a more positive image and change to the city. Change is a sign of growth, Rice answered in last year’s profile. Without change, things become stagnant and decay. Changing requires creating a business-friendly atmosphere (through professional, consistent information) to attract new development who will in turn create jobs for our community.
