Kenilworth Clock Tower The clock tower was presented to Kenilworth in 1906 by G.M. Turner as a memorial to his late wife. The upper part of the structure was damaged in November 1940 by a landmine which also destroyed the adjacent Globe Hotel, killing 28 people. The clock tower was ultimately restored in 1973 when  the stone crown was reinstated and in 1974 a local blacksmith constructed a replacement weather vane <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6981894">SP2871 : Weathervane on Kenilworth Clock Tower</a>.
