Description: The Town Hall was built in 1861 with money from public subscriptions. The clock was provided with money from Henry des Vaux of Draklow Hall. At the time he was approached for this money, des Vaux was embroiled in a bitter lawsuit, and insisted that he would only provide the money for the clock if 'Time the Avenger' were inscribed beneath the face. The sculpture was designed by local people to celebrate the National Forest.
