The
Church Clock and Carillon
All Saints Church, Highbrook
The All Saints
church tower clock was installed in 1887 when the church was built.
It was made by Gillett & Johnson of Croydon.
As well as chiming and striking the hour and quarter hours, at 12am, 3pm and 6pm it also triggers the carillon which plays complete tunes on the bells.
The carillon has two sets of tunes on separate "barrels" and each barrel plays seven different tunes changing every 24 hours.
The carillon and clock mechanisms were restored to mark the millennium and have now been automated so that no-one need climb the tower each day to wind it as they used to.
