Prior Castell's Clock

It was originally on the east side of the rood screen, but was moved in 1593 to its current location in the south transept.

[2] In 1845, Dean George Waddington removed the clock case from the cathedral.

Parts of it were rediscovered in 1936 and Dean Cyril Alington launched a campaign to restore it.

[4] In 1969 the cathedral installed a new heating system which caused the wooden supports for the clock to dry out and crack.

Metal bands were put round the supports to prevent the clock from falling.
