Langley Mill's "Public Clock" replied on: 4/18/2004 2:00:12 AM Paul That may well fit in, thanks. There are photos of Langley Mill church with no clock (1912), 2 clocks (north and south) (1912 onwards), and 4 clocks. I have not yet traced the date of the fitting of the second pair of clocks. I had a trip up to the top of the church tower today, and took a number of photographs in relation to this work. I now know that a new bell was installed in 1933 - if this was done in conjunction with other work on the clock, which is not unlikely, then the 1932 date on your photograph would fit perfectly. It would be good to hear from anyone who heard the chiming of Langley Mill church clock prior to 1933 though, as that may change my views! I will be checking at the County Record Office next time I go to see if papers held there shed any light on the subject.
