A neoclassical shaft supports a four faced clock under a roof with a spire. There are inscriptions on three sides and a portrait on the fourth with two drinking fountains at the base. Removed to storage in 2011, the local community campaigned and fundraised for its restoration. It was returned and relocated by 40 m to make way for a playpark in 2015.
