Description

Sennowe Hall Clock Tower is a free-standing Italianate Campanile clock tower and water tower located to the west of Sennowe Hall. Designed by architect George Skipper, it was built between 1905 and 1907. The tower has five storeys and is constructed of brick with stone dressings and a copper roof. It has a rectangular plan, featuring a ground floor plinth made of stone, with three floors of brick above and a stone cornice topped by a tempietto.

The ground floor has a massive battered and rusticated plinth with quoins, and there are north and south doors with rusticated surrounds. At the first floor level, there are two courses of rusticated stone, followed by two smooth courses forming a string course. The corners are finished with smooth stone, connecting to a string course that links one window on each face, which is adorned with stone balustrade balconies. The windows have architraves with three uncut keystones and segmental pediments on console brackets. Each of the three floors above the first has one rectangular stone-dressed window.

The fourth floor is set behind a stone Doric entablature, frieze, and cornice, with windows placed between the triglyphs, featuring flat modillions and a projecting cornice. At the top, there is an eight-sided stone belfry tempietto with drafted stone piers and arches, modillions, and an octagonal copper roof that culminates in a point with a ball and weather vane. The corners of the cornice are accentuated by four stone obelisks with roundel finials. The clock tower is designed to complement the house and stable court to the south and east.
