Jubilee Clock

Easy Drayton Parish Council Jubilee Clock

The Bishop of Derby on Tuesday evening dedicated the Jubilee clock, which has been erected by Messrs. Smith and Son, Derby, in a lofty tower of St. Peter’s Church, at East Drayton, on behalf of the villagers as a Jubilee permanent memorial. 

The clock has been manufactured and fixed at a cost of £89. The sum was collected during the Jubilee year, an additional £20 has been spent on other costs, and on repair of the church roof. 

The clock is constructed of solid cast iron frame, placed and bolted on iron girders, and contains Lord Grimthorpe’s double three-legged gravity escapement, and 1¼ sec compensated pendulum. The total weight of the clock is about one ton, and the cost altogether was £115.
