"St Andrew's Church is in High Street, Starbeck, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Harrogate, the archdeaconry of Richmond, and the Diocese of Leeds.[1] The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building." link

The end wall of the church on Main Street has the corners of wall cut at an angle of 45 degrass rather than the usual 90 degrees. Each of these angled corners has a clock face near the top of the wall.

The left hand clock is above a simple white painted cross.

The clock face is painted blue and the hours are marked in Roman numerals with the individual minutes around the perimeter marked with dots. As is the case with many old clocks the number four is marked as IIII rather than IV as would be used today.

The numerals, minute markings and clock hands are all painted gold.
