Clock

Churchwardens’ accounts of 1690 show that a clock was purchased (possibly from Epperstone) and installed in that year. It was removed in 1890-91, when the old gallery which stretched across the tower arch was removed.

There is now no clock on the tower or within the church, although there is a sundial now covered by the south porch. This is probably a mass marker to indicate the time of the next masses.

There is evidence of a partial sundial on the south side to the west of the porch. This may be a reclaimed stone.

There is also a Grade II listed sundial in the churchyard.

A chiming German clock was given by Mr George Cullen in memory of his father. This is now kept at the British Horological Society in Upton.

There are also remains of a sundial on the south wall inside what is now the church porch. The hole for the gnomen is surrounded by the markers for the hours.
