Church Clock - St Leonard - Aston-le-Walls, Northamptonshire - Town Clocks on Waymarking.com

Church clock on the bell tower of St Leonard's church, Aston-le-Walls. The clock was built by Thomas Williams of Kings Sutton in 1747. It has a white face, with black roman numerals and hands.

"St Leonard's church sits at the heart of the village where the two main lanes which branch off the Welsh Road meet at a junction. The church is largely 13th century and makes extensive use of the local limestones. Pevsner also picks out details that indicate an earlier Norman origin, notably round-headed arches on doorways and windows around the tower. The later western porch, quite an unusual feature and very much a "bolt-on" hides much of the detail from the exterior. Otherwise the church follows the traditional design of chancel, nave and western tower with additional arcades. The church sits on a corner site, the main entrance being from Main Street where a metal gate grants access. There is one particularly dominating tree which restricts angles somewhat but without preventing adequate photography of the building."
