The six-stage clock tower, "an unusual component of a barracks, enriched by a wide variety of decoration", dates from 1896. "Built as part of the final phase of construction for the barracks, although the design may have been settled when the barracks was begun in the 1870s since the later buildings are consistent with the earliest" http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/default.aspx?pid=2&id=473750 .
