New Bradwell War Memorial Clock Tower

The New Bradwell War Memorial Clock Tower is a clock tower built as a memorial for the Second World War, situated within an area of formal gardens.

Constructed from red brick in Flemish bond and topped with lead cappings, the tower tapers as it rises in two stages, with the lower stage making up the majority of the structure and the upper stage being square. A recessed cross is located on the north elevation above a doorway. The west and east sides feature windows with wide brick mullions. The upper stage has clock faces on the west and east sides, with the numbers indicated by circular points. Above the doorway, there is a bronze plaque inscribed with a quotation from Laurence Binyon's poem 'For the Fallen': ‘BRITISH LEGION/ NEW BRADWELL & DISTRICT BRANCH/ IN MEMORIAM/ THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD, AS WE THAT ARE LEFT GROW OLD./ AGE SHALL NOT WEARY THEM, NOR THE YEARS CONDEMN./ AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN AND IN THE MORNING,/ WE WILL REMEMBER THEM./ SEPTEMBER 2nd 1962.’
