The Lifeboat House was built in 1884 to the designs of CH Cooke, the architect of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. It was built by Everett and Son of Colchester, costing £487.10s. It was purpose-built to house Walton's first lifeboat. Both the building and the boat were funded by the Drama Section of the Honourable ARtillery Company, which regularly held a summer camp in the area.
