Memorial clock tower. 1887. For the Jubilee of Queen Victoria,

anthemion enrichment and flared cornice. Each face of the
shaft carries 2 panels, with the Queen's head and the Weymouth
arms respectively. The shaft is flared out to 4 plinth panels
under segmental pediments; on 3 faces inscribed "Erected to
commemorate the Jubilee of Her Majesty the Queen 1887. John
Groves, Mayor", and on the seaward face "Jubilee Memorial
Erected by Public Subscription. The clock being the gift of
Sir Henry Edwards". The 4 faces are linked in an octagon on
octagonal plus a circular moulded base, set to a shallow
multangular stone base.
A florid but characteristic enrichment to the sea-front, boldy
coloured.
