Description

Victoria Tower is a tower built in 1848 by Jesse Hartley. It is constructed of granite rubble and features a battered round base with a round-arched window and blocked entrances, along with roll moulding. The upper part of the tower is octagonal and includes a bracketed balcony, a six-faced clock, and paired slits with transoms above. Above these, there are blind roundels and the date is displayed on the south side. The tower is topped with a battlemented parapet on machicolations. There is a small rendered extension that is not of significant interest.

Local climate

Victoria Tower sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,080 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 86% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 75% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 19 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 81% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
