the clock was designed by Robert Hembrow and built by local builders Benjamin Gaston and F Ransome. The 8.4 meter high clock tower has a single stepped base and is constructed of imitation Bath stone with an entrance door on the north side, clock faces on all four sides and the tower topped with a decorative weather vane. The clock tower was built to celebrate the coronation of King Edward VII on August 9, 1902, but through a combination of bad luck and poor planning it was not completed until two years later. Mr Wright, a Bexhill watch and clockmaker, who made the clock, first started it on July 19, 1904.
