Church clock on the bell tower of St Luke's church, Ironbridge. The clock has a white face with cast iron frame with roman numerals.
"This church building has a tower, a nave, side aisles and a small sanctuary. The tower contains a three dial clock, placed there by public subscription in 1838 at a cost of £125 and made by W. Davies of Shifnal.
The position of Ironbridge church is the reverse of the majority of churches, the sanctuary being at the west end and the tower at the east end. This is due to the fact that it was discovered that the land at the west end would not bear the weight of a tower."
