Description

The Hoddesdon Clock Tower, built in 1835 by T. Smith, is a square clock tower made of yellow stock brick with stucco dressings. It features three diminishing stages, a moulded floor band, and a cornice. The middle stage has louvred belfry openings set in recessed panels, while the top stage displays clocks, with the original clocks located on the east and west faces. The tower is topped with a flattened pyramid copper roof and a stone palmette finial. It was constructed on the site of a medieval belfry tower.

Local climate

Clock Tower sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 88% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 52% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
