I was fortunate enough to get inside of Holy Trinity Church in Cowling, North Yorkshire, but what I was even more fortunate, is the towers allowed up in the clock chamber to see the clock mechanism striking midday! This clock according to the inscription was built by Joyce of Whitchurch, Shropshire, and has Westminster Chimes, as you see it striking the Westminster Chimes before the hour strike. The church was built in 1845 by R D Chantrell, famous for rebuilding Leeds Minster. There are four bells in the tower for the Westminster Chimes, and the fourth bell is used for the hour as well. I extend my thanks to the two men working in the church and for letting me up the tower. It is also worth noting that Cowling was the birthplace of the first ever Labour Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Snowdon.
