The Strangest Clock I Have Ever Seen

Tweet

Head to Cheadle in South Manchester, on the Cheshire borders and take a look at the clock face of the local Parish Church. You’ll see that instead of the numbers one to twelve or the usual Roman Numerals, the clocks three faces bear religious phrases using twelve letters of the alphabet. On the face given here the message reads ‘Forget Not God’. The two other faces of the clock bear similar commands on the populace. Maybe we need secular ones saying things like ‘Dinners Ready’.
