Turret clock mechanism
This clock has a simple iron frame with no ornamental work. All the wheels are of iron with a few brass bushes for pinions. It has both a going and striking mechanism and an anchor escapement for (missing) pendulum. It has wooden drums for weight ropes. Datable details are few but it possibly dates between 1650-1750.
