Description
The Clock Tower, built in 1893, is a notable structure made of red and blue banded brick in English bond, topped with a lead roof. It features three stages, with each face of every stage having a recessed panel.
At the base, there is a two-light window with a cambered arch and a boarded door on the right side. The second stage is tall and includes recessed panels topped with a stepped dentilled cornice. The third stage, which houses the clock, has a corbelled stone band and a clock face on each side. The pyramidal roof is adorned with gablets that have louvres and a spire topped with a weather vane. The decorative bands of red and blue bricks enhance its appearance, and it is part of a group with the nearby school and church.
