Description
The clock tower west of Ash Hill House is a memorial structure built in 1926 for Davis Green. It is timber-framed with plastered panels and features stone tile roofs. The tower has a square plan and is divided into three stages. The lower stage includes an octagonal loggia with carved brackets supporting posts that rise through the pentice roof to create pinnacles above. The second stage is close-studded and has cusped-headed windows, along with a wrought-iron clock face on the east side. Above this is the belfry, which has a pyramidal roof with gablets, a weathervane, and houses four bells. Beneath the loggia, there are benches with carved strapwork panels above, inscribed with verses from Annie Hilda Green's poem "The Silverdale Clock Chimes." This tower was constructed in the garden of Ash Hill House as a memorial to Davis Green's first wife, Annie Hilda Green, who passed away in 1926.
