GV II

Clocktower, 1859, for George Tomline, MP. In the Baroque manner. Red brick with dressings of limestone. The base stage is of banded rusticated brickwork and on each face is an open archway with semicircular heads of gauged brick. At each corner is a pair of clasping buttresses, each with a surmounting stone pier and ball finial; from that level shallow clasping buttresses rise the full height. A stone string course at mid-height rises over a central panel with the monogram G.T. on 2 faces and the date 1859 on a 3rd. A clock enclosed by a stone frame is immediately below semicircular-headed belfry openings (single on 3 sides, paired on the south side). The parapets have a heavy stone cornice and open balustrading, with pyramid finials on piers at the corners. At the north-east corner is a slender full-height stair turret, of circular plan and almost detached.
