My dear mother - Buckland in the Moor, Devon
Unlike the rest of the church, the 13c two-stage, battlemented tower is completely unrestored.   The west door has a moulded 2-centred arch enclosed by a rectangular chamfered frame. Above it is an old window of c 1300 appearance with 2-pointed- arched lights set within a 2-centred arch  . Against the south face is a 5-sided stair turret with slit windows. 
The clock with musical chimes playing  'All things bright and beautiful' every quarter hour. was installed in 1930 by William Whitley the owner of the Buckland Estate at that time, in memory of his mother Elizabeth who had died the previous year  - hence the words on the dial  'my dear mother' instead of numbers 
He also added 3 bells to make the tower's total of five.
