English
Clockmakers installed battery-driven electric
winding motors for the drive and chime.
Until
electrification, the clock, built by William Leeson
of Coleshill in 1860, was wound twice a week by
a bellringer.
Papers
from 1858-62 now in Warwick Records Ofice but once
in the parish chest in church, record lists of
subscribers and accounts for restoration of the
clock in the 19th century.
They
show £3 was made from the sale of the old
dials.
William
is buried a couple of hundred yards away, but his
work carries on.
