Not an explore as such so if admin feel it has no place here fell free to remove it.
Zero81 and I spotted this on our way to somewhere else and liked the look of it
and were intrigued. It is situated in the private grounds of a posh boarding school
for 8-13 year olds.
Info from the schools website.
Work began on 29 June 1883 and completed on 01 Oct 1884. The cost was £ 7980.
The height of the tower is 161 feet and it has three lower floor rooms, a sewing room
and a clock room. The clock is by J.B. Joyce of Whitchurch who still service it.
The tower can be seen from six counties. Features include four mosaic clock faces, a
sundial and a coat of arms.
The clock tower is part of a private estate and is not open to visitors except on
advertised open days.
