Church clock on the north and south faces of the tower of St Peter's church, Leire.

The clock has a black face with gilded roman numerals and hands.

"St Peters has a west tower with spire, north aisle, nave, chancel and south porch. The oldest part of the present church is the 14th century ashlar tower, the rest was rebuilt in 1867-68 when the rest of the present church was built to replace an earlier structure.
The architect was William Smith from Drummon Street in London, he added the north aisle and rebuilt the church with granite and syenite. The four bay arcade with its layered coloured stone is similar to Gilmorton – in fact it was the same architect who also want on to rebuild the church at Shawell."
