Christ Church with St Ewen
This Georgian church on Broad Street is best known outside for the moving Quarter Jacks on its clock tower. Interior access depends on worship or a listed event.
The clock figures strike the quarter hours, turning the tower into something to watch rather than simply pass. The late eighteenth-century church replaced a medieval predecessor, so its exterior belongs to a different chapter from nearby older streets. A service or event is the route to seeing the interior.
What to look for
Quarter Jack figures mark the quarter hours on the tower clock.
The Georgian church faces Broad Street.
The interior can be seen during suitable public church events.
Useful to know
Pause near the clock if you want to see the figures move.
Check the parish calendar before planning to go inside.
Make it a short stop while exploring Broad Street and the old centre.
