The Headmaster'S Tower, About 45 Metres North West Of Old House, King'S School, And Adjacent Walling To South And East

The Headmaster's Tower, located about 45 metres northwest of Old House at King's School, is a gazebo or folly tower built in the early 19th century. It is constructed of red brick, likely originally rendered, with Doulting stone dressings and features lead flat roofs. Designed in the Gothic style, the tower has an octagonal plan and a circular stair turret on its west side. It stands two storeys tall and includes four-centred arched doorways on the southwest and east faces, as well as two-light trefoil headed unglazed windows on the south face and the upper east face. The structure has a plinth, string course, and battlemented parapets.

Adjacent to the tower are wing walls made of random rubble, which rise to an average height of 3 metres and extend approximately 23 metres southwards and 27 metres eastwards, with the eastern wall ending in a high square ashlar pier. The building on the northeast face of this pier is not included in the listing. The tower was erected by Headmaster Abrahall, who served from 1826 to 1864, possibly in 1834 when he extended the Old House. The walls surrounding the tower represent earlier boundaries of the school. As of September 1983, the tower is noted to be covered in ivy.
