Description
The clock tower, orangery, and connecting walls at Narford Hall were likely built around 1860 by Andrew Fountaine. The structure is made of ashlar stone. The clock tower features an arcaded cupola on top. The orangery has seven bays with large casement windows set beneath semicircular arches that display Baroque decoration. The central bay is slightly larger and has rusticated reveals. There is a balustrade parapet, although the roof is not visible. The connecting walls are made of stone. The description is minimal due to limited access.
