Description
The Clock Tower is a building that was originally constructed as stables between 1882 and 1884 by R.N. Shaw. It is made of rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and features a tiled roof.
The structure is two storeys high and consists of six bays. The ground floor has double-chamfered-mullioned windows with two and four lights, while the first floor displays a combination of 1:3:2:1:3:3-light windows. The entrances located in the second and sixth bays are flanked by lights, with the entrance in the sixth bay featuring a Tudor head and a label mould. The central entrance is a pointed arch, with the mouldings integrated into the jambs and a hood mould above.
Above, the central two-bay attic has a cornice, an embattled parapet, and a pyramidal roof that includes a clock face. The building has cross-axial and gable-end stacks. A courtyard can be accessed through an arch, which includes an open shelter on the western side.
