Picture Gallery--a selection

This is the tower clock mechanism in the Ringing Room. It was built in 1885 by William Potts & Sons of Leeds.

The same firm repaired the clock and restored the striking and chiming gear at a cost of £15-10s-0d in October 1899.

 

 

 

 

 

A closer view of the clock mechanism.  The clock is now wound electrically and it chimes the quarters, half hours and hours on the bells by means of automatic hammers.
