A twice life-size female figure situated at each corner of the tower between buttressed ionic columns. Only two are positively identifiable: north-east corner, Autumn (with a sheaf of corn); south-west corner, Winter (who pulls her cloak round her). The other two are in similar half-clad poses. Beneath each figure at each corner of the tower's main cornice is a head in the Egyptian style, with wings behind. On top of the tower is a copper weathervane in the pattern of an Elizabethan galleon.

The allegorical figures and relief heads on the tower's cornice are part of the Town Hall's extensive sculptural decoration.
