The Clock Tower on Old Gate in Morpeth was built in the early 17th century, using stone from an earlier Medieval building. The west side of the tower has outside stone steps to 1st floor and the small cusped head of a 14th century window. In 1706 a peal of six bells was installed in the tower, provided by Major General Edmund Maine, when he became MP of Morpeth. The bells are rung at 8pm everyday; marking the evening curfew in years gone by. The tower is a Grade II* Listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
