Camperdown Clock Tower

Freestanding Gothic clock tower at the heart of Camperdown's elm-lined main street.

The Camperdown Clock Tower stands in the middle of Manifold Street, giving the town centre its most memorable landmark. It was built in the 1890s as a memorial to Thomas Peter Manifold, and its Gothic outline is more dramatic than you expect in a rural main street.

See it as part of a walk through town rather than as a destination by itself. The tower, courthouse, station, and avenue of elms make Camperdown feel more composed than many highway towns.
