Description
The Clock Tower, built in 1888-1889, commemorates Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887. It is constructed from Kentish ragstone with Portland stone above. The tower features a small octagonal cupola and dome made of cast iron, topped with a weathervane and a Time Ball. There are four clock faces set in stone, each adorned with heraldic beasts below. Additionally, there are plaques displaying busts of Queen Victoria, the Prince of Wales (who later became King Edward VII), the Princess of Wales (who later became Queen Alexandra), and the Crown, which is encircled by the word 'Jubilee' and the year '1887'. The original terracotta plaques by Doulton have been replaced with copper repoussé panels.
