Description
The building is a square, stone-faced Gothic clock tower erected between 1905 and 1906. The tower is constructed of four stages. Each face is similar in design, rising from a stepped base. The lower stage features diagonal buttresses and a recessed niche topped with an arched, cusped canopy, side pinnacles, a gablet containing an oculus, and a finial. The niche on the south side holds a bronze, oval medallion depicting a bust of Edward VII. The second stage is blank except for two small loopholes and a small trefoil. The third stage contains a triple lancet window with louvred lights. A cornice runs above this. The top stage, housing the clock faces, is slightly corbelled out. The clock faces are set beneath gablets with carved label stops and finials. Corner pinnacles rise from this level, and the stage is crowned with a stone lantern carried on flying buttresses, incorporating a spirelet, carved finial, and a wrought iron weather vane incorporating the letters 'A.E.'.
