Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Showing the difference between Nottingham local time and GMT. Clock dates from ca. 1780-1790. The plate in the arch was added later. It records the Latitudes and Longitudes from the Trignometrical Survey of England and Wales by Col Mudge and others, listing places such as Greenwich Observatory, London St Paul's, Lincoln Minster, Bottesford Church, Newark Church, Langar Observatory, Bingham Church, Nottingham St Mary's Church, Loughborough Church and Derby All Saints' Church (now cathedral). The circular plaque on the face records that "Clocks at Nottingham are slower than at Greenwich 4 min 33 sec, and slower than St Paul's London 4 min 10 sec"
