An octagonal faced clock made from slate with all details incised and gilded - a ring of minute & quarter-hour marks surrounds the usual Roman numeral hours.
From wikipedia:-
"Simmons of Warwick made the present turret clock in the west tower in 1865. It is built to have three dials but only one, on the south side of the tower, was installed. However, in 1876 a dial was added on the ceiling of the ringing room. It has no hour hand, only a minute hand, and is for bell-ringers to time their ringing."
St Ncholas' church is a Grade I listed building, one of 112 in the county of Warwickshire. It has an interesting Norman doorway that is believed to have been transported from the ruins of the adjacent St Mary's Abbey.
