Clock Tower

The clock tower, dated 1833 and 1864, is constructed of slatestone rubble with granite and freestone dressings, and has a lead-sheathed wooden cupola. The tower is square in plan and has five stages. Stages two and three are smaller than the base, with moulded strings dividing the upper stages, which are likely additions from 1864. A pointed planked door with ventilation holes sits within a painted frame on the south-east street front. The second stage features a datestone inscribed "1833" within an oval border. The third stage contains a two-light cusped freestone mullioned window with a hood mould. The fourth stage has a datestone bearing "1864" within a raised shield. A circular cusped freestone ventilator is located on the upper stage, with painted clock faces displaying Roman numerals on the south-west and north-east sides. A coved cornice sits above, followed by an articulated parapet. The cupola has chamfered corner posts with shouldered arches between. The ogee-curved lead roof is topped with a ball and spirelet finial and a weathervane.
