Village clock of 1924, mounted on the bell tower of St Mary's church, Beachamwell. A plaque inside the church reads:
The clock in this tower
was made & presented by
the late Canon A.F.Sutton M.A.
vicar of Earls Colne, Essex
& dedicated by the Archdeacon
of Wisbech on Nov 11th 1924
The round tower is possibly one of the earliest in Norfolk, early 11th century; through the trapdoor in the ringing platform you can see right up to the top. This is augmented by a gorgeous early 15th century octagonal bell stage, resplendent with flushwork. The church beside this is tiny, but has a lovely thatched roof to nave and chancel, with a south aisle tucked behind.
The clock has a black wooden face with gilded roman numerals and hands.
