This clock was donated to Prestonville in 1884 by William Deacon of Mabledon Park, Tunbridge wells.
It was made by John Moore & Sons in 1830, and once struck the hours on a single bell. Owing to it's location, the sea air hasn't done it much good and has caused the arbours; clock hammer; and other fittings to rust.
