Church Clock - St Eata - Atcham, Shropshire - Town Clocks on Waymarking.com

Church clock on the bell tower, above the belfry on the morth side, of St Eata's church, Atcham. It has a blue face with a flower-like pattern in the centre, and gilded roman numerals and hands.

"The church of St. Eata, standing on the banks of the Severn, and formerly belonging to the abbey of Lilleshall, is a building of red stone, chiefly in the Early English style, the materials of which are supposed to have been brought from Wroxeter, the ancient Uriconium: it consists of chancel, nave, south porch and an embattled western tower, containing a clock and 6 bells: the chancel and nave are separated by a traceried screen, brought from the church of Worfield near Bridgnorth: on the south wall of the chancel is an incised monument to Jocosa Burton, ob. 1524, brought from the ruins of old St. Chad's church, Shrewsbury: the east window is stained, and exhibits, three figures, in two colours only, brown and yellow: on the oak reading desk are some fine specimens of carving, illustrating the parable of the Prodigal Son: on each side of the chancel is a low-side window: the church was restored in 1887, at a cost of over £1,000, and affords 250 sittings."
