Clock Towers of England by Kevin Newman

Clock Towers of England by Kevin Newman

Britain's Clocktowers is a nationwide exploration of these intriguing buildings the Victorians built in great numbers, even after they were no longer strictly necessary. Historian and author Kevin Newman investigates these interesting obsolete buildings and celebrates their architecture, their locations, their role in popular culture and their history. He asks whether they have purposes other than being used to tell the time, and what exactly they tell us about our ancestors.Newman investigates clocktowers that are both loved and long-lost and hidden and discusses whether these Victorian follies have any role in today's society.

Kevin Newman is an author of history textbooks who also advises theatre and TV production companies on their historical plays and programmes. As well as being a GCSE History examiner, he gives a number of historical talks and presentations throughout the South of England every year and still manages to squeeze in some history teaching when not running his organisation, All-Inclusive History. A full time history teacher for 15 years, Kevin always tried to bring the past alive through exploring its buildings, and still takes educational and corporate groups, such as Sotheby’s School of Art on architectural tours.
