The present clock face is very new - it was replaced a few years ago. The old one can be clearly seen in the plan of 1722 (right) when the original tower and steeple were demolished and replaced by the existing one - quite how it finished up at Post Office Cottage (left) we do not know.

It is also clearly visible in the coloured slide taken in 1888 by the Rev A.E.Wright, but, by around 1900 it had been replaced by a round face.
