Clopton Tower

Clopton Tower is a belvedere tower that has been converted into a house. It was built in the early 1850s, with a large addition added around 1975, which likely incorporates earlier elements, and it is currently being extended as of 1991. The tower was commissioned by C.T. Warde of Clopton House. It is constructed from rockfaced coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings. The structure features a three-stage octagonal tower with a taller octagonal stair turret on the northeast side, and a two-storey block attached to the northwest.

The tower has a plain plinth and drip-courses at the ground floor and second floor levels, topped with a machicolated and crenellated parapet. The entrance on the southeast side has a four-centred head and a glazed door. Windows on alternating faces have single-chamfered openings. The addition, designed in a similar style, features a top cornice and crenellated parapet. On the north side, there is a two-storey porch to the left of the open ground floor, supported by square piers and diagonal buttresses, with a four-centred arch and a battened inner door. The first floor has a single light window above the open ground floor, with similar windows on the east side, tall lights on the south, and a three-light double-chamfered-mullioned window with a label mould at the recessed ground floor on the west side.

Inside, there is an oak spiral staircase and a doorway with a four-centred head.
