Scope and content
Main dial: eight-day, two-train originally, third train added later. Arched dial with moon, matted and engraved centre, round-ended date aperture, separate solid seconds circle, maps on hemispheres, head and foliage spandrels, name on separate silvered piece in breakarch. This clock has been heavily improved probably in Victorian times when third train and gong were added. Frances Tennant repaired mechanism and cleaned up moon dial, main dial unrestored.
