Clock Tower

The Clock Tower, dated 1868, is a Grade II listed structure located in the center of the former market place. It is built from rock-faced limestone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof, a wooden turret, and a ventilating louvre. The tower has a square plan with one offset diagonal buttress and a pyramidal roof that transitions to an octagonal stage, displaying a clock on two faces. At the top, there is a small slated pyramid with a louvred crowning feature and a weathercock. The east front has plain plank doors set in a moulded arch, which includes a drip to leaf stops and a panel inscribed with 'Albert Edward 1868' alongside the Prince of Wales feathers. The north and south sides have blind lancet windows, while the west side features leaded glazed windows. A corbel table cornice adorns the main roof, and there are small gabled lucarnes on each face of the roof slope. This clock tower occupies the site where the Market House stood until 1863 and was gifted to the town by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales.
