Buckland-in-the-Moor and Grey Park Wood 046

Buckland-in-the-Moor - St Peter's Church

 

Instead of numbers, the clockface reads: "My Dear Mother." The story is that in 1930, the Lord of the Manor, William Whitley, had the tribute put up in memory of his mother. Kind of trumps a bunch of flowers on Mother's Day.
