The tower was erected about 1470, by John Shipward, a merchant and mayor of Bristol, is square, 140 feet high, has 177 stone steps up to the top, a sonorous peal of eight bells, a clock and dial. This lofty tower is finely proportioned, and ornamented ; finished with four pinnacles and battlements of hollow work, so light and elegant, that spectators are always struck with its beauty, and connoisseurs approve it, as one of the most elaborate specimens of the florid Gothic in England. The pinnacle over the staircase is circular, and contains a bell that announces the hour.
