Church clock on St James' church tower, Sutton Cheney. The clock has a white face with black ironwork with roman numerals and black hands.
"The church of St James mostly dates from the 14th century and probably replaces an earlier church on the site. The church consists of a low west tower, nave, chancel and south chapel. The circular arcade dates to the 13th century, the low west tower has a brick upper stage which was rebuilt in the early 19th century.
The church’s tower is unusual and an engraving from the 1790’s shows that the original tower was higher."
