Abberley Clock Tower, Clock tower in Abberley, England
The Abberley Clock Tower rises 161 feet above Merritts Hill, featuring a stone structure with four clock faces and a bell carillon at the top.
Construction of the tower began in June 1883 under architect James Piers St Aubyn and was completed in October 1884 at a cost of £7980.
The tower houses a 16-bell carillon system that originally played 42 different tunes on rotation until many bells were removed in 1939.
Visitors can observe the tower from multiple vantage points outside Abberley Hall School grounds, as the structure remains on private educational property.
The clock mechanism, manufactured by J.B. Joyce of Whitchurch in 1884, continues to receive maintenance from the same company, Britain's oldest active clockmaker.
