Church Clock - St Michael - Brent Knoll, Somerset - Town Clocks on Waymarking.com

Church clock on the bell tower of St Michael's church, Brent Knoll.

"The original clock was of similar design and construction to the clocks in Wells and Salisbury Cathedrals and was probably installed when the tower was built. At first it had no dial or hands and only struck the hour on the one bell in the tower. Various features of the construction point to the fact that it worked on the Verge Escapement principle. Sometime later it was altered from Verge to Pendulum movement and the dial and hands were added. It was superseded by an electric movement in 1979 and the dial and hands were re-gilded at the same time. The old movement is preserved in the tower."
