Church Clock - St.Mary the Virgin, Broadwater Lane, Aston, Hertfordshire. SG2 7EN - Town Clocks on Waymarking.com

This is a Grade II* listed parish church with the nave and chancel of c1230, the west tower late C14th or early C15th with low pitched timber roofs and new windows of the late C15th. There was a restoration in 1850 which also gave the north aisle followed in 1883 by a general restoration when the north vestry and south porch were rebuilt by W O Milne of London.

Built of flint rubble with a rough plastered finish and corbelled brick crenellated parapet to the tower with stone dressings and tiled buttress offsets. There is a knapped flint uncoursed facing to the rest of the church with stone dressings and flushwork chequer of stone and flint on the porch. A copper low pitched roof to the chancel - similar behind the nave's crenellated parapet, lead roof and 'Hertfordshire Spike' with vane on the tower, slate roof to the north-east vestry.

The rather small clock face on the south face of the tower below the bell chamber opening is in good condition but simple. There is a single band around the clock adorned with the hour and minute marks. The Roman numerals are inside this with the quite fat counterbalance hands of semi-ornate design, these all painted gold colour against the black painted face. There is no drip moulding to help protect the clock face.
