Clock mechanism

The church has a large three-dial clock with faces on the north, south and west elevations of the tower. It is housed on the third floor of the tower. Each of the faces is identical, having a dark metal outer chapter ring with a double narrow inner gold ring with small segments that are not accurately divided into minutes. The numerals are of traditional Roman design. The clock face is of opaque white glass.

The clock was made by G & F Cope & Co. of Nottingham in 1950.

A plaque on the interior wall of the tower records the gift of the clock in 1950:
