A picture of Upton upon Severn, in the county of Worcestershire

The main body of the Tower is probably 14th century, although its base is 13th century. A roof line – probably that of the original church – can be plainly seen in the stonework. In 1770, the spire of the old tower was considered unsafe and it was replaced by the wooden hexagonal lantern and lead cupola (later sheathed in copper) to the design of Midland architect Anthony Keck, giving the Tower its 'pepperpot' proportions.
