Building    From 1877  To 1971

St Marys Newington clock tower

Categories: Property, Religion

An early church was demolished in 1720, leaving only the clock tower. The new building incorporated the original large clock tower at the western end. This church including the tower was demolished in 1876.

In 1877 an ex-churchwarden, R. S. Faulconer, funded a new clock tower, in distinctive gothic style. This became a local landmark but it fell into disrepair, was deemed a safety hazard and was demolished in 1971.
