St Peter's Leire, Tower Tours
It will soon be possible to have a guided tour of the tower, clock and bells at St Peters.
The tower dates from 1250 - 1300 and the tour takes you on a journey through time with 3 timepieces including the existing clock.
The tour will also include the bells and a view into the spire but roof access is not available.
To book a tour please send an email to Richard and Diane at the following email address drahcir.renrag@gmail.com
They will contact you to give some available times and dates.
The tour will show methods
of determining time since
the 1400’s to present day
including a detailed view of
the clock room pendulum
clock seen above.
The bells and the bell chamber are
included in the tour seen above.
The drawing above shows the church
as it was in 1792 with the tower we
see today.
The photo above shows the church
newly rebuilt in 1868 but with the
existing tower but no clock.
