The clock face is a diagonal square shape, made of what looks like slate. The dial is circular with roman numerals in gilded lettering. The hands are also gilded. The corners are inscribed with gilded lettering:

"The clock mechanism can be dated fairly accurately at 1710; it was in working order until 1957 when it was replaced by an electric movement. The carillon mechanism (which plays hymn tunes four times a day) is of the same date and is now electrically driven. "

There is also a carillon mechanism (which plays hymn tunes four times a day), which is of the same date as the clock. It is now electrically driven.
