Clocks and Chimes

The old clock and carillon chimes (playing “Rousseau’s Dream”) were of necessity dismantled during the restoration of the belfry in 1897 and, being practically worn out, were replaced in 1903 by a new clock playing the Westminster chimes; this work was carried out by Messrs Smith & Son of Derby at a cost of about £150.
