Description
The Tower at Ruxley Towers is a tower, dating back to around 1870 and built for Lord Foley. It is now part of an office building. The tower is stuccoed with a concealed roof. It is an octagonal structure with five stages, featuring a taller, octagonal stair tower on the north-east side. The design is in the 15th-century Gothic style. It has square-headed windows with hood-moulds, two-light windows on the upper stages of the main tower and one-light windows on the stair tower, and looped arrow slits at the top of the stair tower. The tower has corbelled embattled parapets, with roll-moulded coping, the main tower parapet being fenestrated, and includes dragon gargoyles. A segmental-arched doorway is located next to the stair tower, with larger windows on the ground floor and an oriel window on the south-west side of the first floor. The remainder of the building is not considered to be of special architectural or historic interest.
