The Clock Tower, High Street, St Albans. Built between 1403 and 1412. A mediaeval belfry, almost unique in England. It contains a large curfew bell dating from 1335. The adjacent French Row was occupied by the Dauphin's troops in 1216. In the Fleur De Lys Inn, King John of France was detained for a time in 1356.

St Albans' Clock Tower is the only surviving medieval town belfry in England and is designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The people of St Albans built the tower, which was completed by 1405 as a symbol of their resistance against the power of the abbot of St Albans. The Tower allowed the town to sound its own hours and, until 1863, the curfew. The Clock Tower's bell rang out for the first Battle of St Albans during the Wars of the Roses in 1455.
