Description
The Clock Tower, built in 1864, is a Grade II listed structure located in Puffers Green, Latton. This building features three bays and one storey, constructed from stock brick in a Flemish bond pattern. It has a ridged and gabled peg-tiled roof with eaves. At the rear, there are two chimney stacks made of matching brick, each with two diagonal shafts, positioned at either end of the rear pitch.
The clock tower itself projects from the front elevation and stands four storeys high, topped with a two-stage timber spire and a weather vane. The central doorway is designed with a pointed arch made of stone and bears the inscription "work while it is day." A date stone is located on the second storey, alongside a single 'Norman' lancet window. The third storey features a clock face, while the fourth storey has an open gallery, leading up to the copper-clad spire.
On the ground storey, there are windows on each side, consisting of sets of three-paned wooden casements set in chamfered reveals. Additionally, there is a lower parallel range at the rear, built at the same time. The garden frontage is adorned with cast iron railings on a brick plinth.
Local climate
Clock Tower sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 89% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 50% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 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.
