An Italianate clock tower that overlooks the Market Place, Harleston. It is a significant landmark structure in the town dating from 1873 by H. H. Collins. Built on the site of the former parish church of St John, thought to have dated to the 15th century. Already ruined by 1726, it was rebuilt, enlarged and then finally demolished in 1873. By this time stone from the chapel had already been reused to build the market cross. Interestingly the chapel was not considered to be within Redenhall parish, as the rest of Harleston was, but in Mendham-in-Norfolk.

The clock tower has two clock faces in blue, with gilded roman numerals and hands.
