590. Clocktower at East Grinstead, Sussex UK

Information notice on the clocktower

 

This clock was purchased by public subscription in 1890 and erected on a building since demolished to honour the 80th birthday of Thomas Cramp (1810- 1891) an influential local public man and teetotal pioneer. It was re-erected on this purpose-built tower in 1955 at the expense of Mr Sidney Betchley and Mr L.W. E. Dungey and restored in 2000 thanks to an anonymous benefactor in co-operation with East Grinstead Town Council
