This clock was made in or before 1386 and was originally located in a separate Bell Tower ( demolished 1792 ) just to the north of the Salisbury Cathedral. It is probably the oldest working clock in existence- and like all clock of that date had no face but struck the hour on a bell (now located in the Cathedral roof space). In 1956 it was repaired and restored to its original condition by The Friends of Salisbury Cathedral and set up in the Salisbury Cathedral.
