Clocktowers of England

By Kevin Newman

Britain's Clocktowers is a nationwide exploration of these intriguing buildings the Victorians built in great numbers, even after they were no longer strictly necessary. Historian and author Kevin Newman investigates these interesting obsolete buildings and celebrates their architecture, their locations, their role in popular culture and their history. He asks whether they have purposes other than being used to tell the time, and what exactly they tell us about our ancestors.Newman investigates clocktowers that are both loved and long-lost and hidden and discusses whether these Victorian follies have any role in today's society.
