 On the High Street
side of the Tower there is a clock
which dates from 1908. It has a chiming mechanism and was the bequest
of Mr Walter Tweed. It is maintained with the generous help of the
Epping Council.
They are housed in a Tower, 96ft in height and made of 5,000
tons of Parham Park stone from Bath. When The Revd R. L. Allwork
followed Edward Buckmaster as Vicar, the local Gazette wrote that he
would:
"find a good deal of unfinished work in his new Church
... the north aisle awaits early completion and the erection of a
tower, ...."
Barely two years later on the 26 April 1909, Mrs Aline
Wythes, accompanied by her husband, Ernest, lay the last stone at 12
noon to complete the tower. Miss Allwork, the vicar's sister,
hoisted the flag and, from the vestry door, Miss C E Green cut the
string to set the clock in motion.
