Description
The clock tower building, located north-west of Dorfold Hall, was constructed around 1862. It features red brick with a slate roof and consists of two storeys and a tower with one bay. The entrance has a pair of large six-panel doors, which are hung on strap hinges and set into stone blocks. Above the doors is a lunette with a keystone, filled with six panels. On the first floor, there is a two-light mullion window dressed in stone, with leaded glazing. The gable roof is supported by stone kneelers and has blue tile gable coping.
On the west elevation, there is a small boarded door in a heavy frame that provides access to the tower. The tower itself has a weathered band at ridge level and features double stone-dressed louvred openings on each face, along with clock dials set in stone frames that have level sills supported by consoles and equilateral stone pediments topped with pyramid finials. A moulded terracotta corbel table runs along the eaves, and the steep roof is made of shaped slates with lead hips. At the top of the tower, there is a tall wooden finial with a metal flag and weather-vane.
Inside, the first floor includes stairs and ladders leading to the clock mechanism.
