Winchcombe Town Hall clock

In1898 Mr R H Prance of Hampstead offered to erect and present an 8-day clock with 2 illuminated dials, provided that the Trustees would take charge of it. It was handed over in the September and Mr Champion, the caretaker, was paid £2 10s yearly to look after it. By 1900 it was noted with concern that the gas lights illuminating the clock's dial had left to an increase of £4.00 in the Hall's gas bill.
