Clock Tower

The Clock Tower, located on the north side of High Street, was built between 1403 and 1412 as a secular belfry. It features four stages, constructed from flint with freestone dressings and a stone battlemented parapet above a cornice, adorned with gargoyles at the corners. The stone quoins are made of alternating blocks. Each stage is slightly narrower than the one below and is marked by a stone string. The ground floor has a wide window set under a four-centred, treble-chamfered arch. The second stage contains two cusped, pointed windows positioned one above the other under square heads. The third stage features a clock, while the top stage has a two-light cusped ogee window with trefoils in the spandrels, set beneath a square hood mould.
