The 63-minute hour
This is at St Peter and St Paul's Church, Old Brampton, Derbyshire. The clock was placed on the tower to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897.
If you count the minutes on the clock-face you'll find there are 63 minutes! Whoever painted the minute signs on the face must have been doing too much celebrating!

You'd have plenty of spare time if you lived in Old Brampton!
