Clock Tower

The Clock Tower is a High Victorian Gothic structure, influenced by the work of architect William Burges. It features grey rubble facings with pale freestone dressings and slate roofs, similar to the clock tower in Hay-on-Wye. The tower is tall and square, with chamfered angles set on a stone plinth that is positioned on a slope. It has a pyramidal roof in two stages, with an open bell stage in between, topped with a weathervane and lucarnes on each face.

Notable architectural features include moulded eaves with machicolations, a round clock face set in a pointed arched frame, brace plates, linked hoodmoulds, and a continuous stringcourse. Scalloped corbels are present at the angles, adorned with three trefoils between them. Each face of the tower has two arrow slits, and there is a heraldic band with set-offs below, along with diagonal buttresses topped with punched trefoil cappings. Arched openings are situated between the buttresses, which also feature hood mouldings and nook shafts. The entrance has one double cusped arch with a boarded door, while the windows include one blind and two traceried designs.

At the base of the Clock Tower, a tablet inscribed with the following reads: "This Tower and Clock was presented to the Town of Knighton by the late Thomas Moore Esq of Old Hall AD 1872 / Bezant - Clockmaker, Hereford / Welsh and Son - Contractor, Hereford / Haddon - Architect, Hereford."
