Village Clock - Congregational Church - Newton Burgoland, Leicestershire - Town Clocks on Waymarking.com

A village clock on the front of the newly consecrated Congregational Chapel in Newton Burgoland, originally founded in 1790, rebuilt in 1807, but fell into disuse and was reconsecrated in 2009.
