Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: St Albans: The Clock Tower. Built between 1403 and 1412 the Clock Tower is one of only two medieval belfries in England. Giving great views of the Abbey, Roman Verulamium and the City, the tower with its fine bell has survived almost 600 years of use.
The Clock Tower was a political statement, enabling the town to sound its own hours, and, until 1863, the Curfew. It also gave the alarm in case of "fire or fray" - its bell rang out for the first battle of St Albans during the War of the Roses in 1455. The Clock Tower is owned by St Albans District Council. It is opened by volunteers of the joint Clock Tower Committee of the St Albans Civic Society and the St Albans and Hertfordshire Architectural and Archaeological Society. |
