Description

Jersey Marine Tower is an octagonal, four-stage tower that remains as a roofless shell. It is constructed of red brick, featuring rusticated quoins made from larger yellow bricks, some of which have been replaced with stone. The tower has yellow brick dressings, with stone keys and sills around the openings. On the east and west sides, there are segmental-headed doorways on the lower stage, while the other faces feature segmental-headed windows. All openings on the lower stage have been infilled. The middle stages also include segmental-headed windows, and the upper stage has taller round-headed windows with key and impost blocks. The tower is topped with a castellated crown that projects on a moulded corbel table, made of banded red and yellow bricks, and features tall merlons with moulded copings.

The interior is currently inaccessible but still shows some plaster on the walls and the joist sockets from the former upper floors. The first floor contains a wooden chimneypiece on the north side.

Local climate

Jersey Marine Tower sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,260 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 93% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 96% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 22 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 77% of listed buildings. Of these, 8 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
