PARK HERITAGE

Nottingham Arboretum
Chinese Bell Tower

Designed in 1857 and built in 1862, the Chinese bell tower has two cannon guns taken from Sebastopol, after victory of the Crimean War in 1856. Designed by Marriott Ogle Tarbotton in 1857.
The Chinese bell tower was built as a war memorial.  The pagoda originally contained a bell which was taken from a temple at the east gate of the city of Canton (Guangzhou) in 1857. This bell was moved to the Regimental Museum in Preston in 1956.
The bell tower was also installed to commemorate the public service of Richard Birkin as the Lord Mayor of Nottingham.
