context_page_description: St Paul's Church, Stockingford, is a Church of England parish church in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England. It is part of the Diocese of Coventry.
context_section_description: When the tower was constructed in 1822–1823, it was fitted with a clock and bell.
  In 1867 a new clock was installed by H Bright of Leamington Spa. Unfortunately, the clock stopped in the 1970s and was not repaired.
  In the 1990s, the bell was deemed unsafe, fixed into position, and had its rope removed. In 1999, clockmakers Smith of Derby Group, restored the clock and bell. For the first time in 30 years, the clock chimed at midnight on 1 January 2000, to mark the new millennium.
  With the bell now fixed in a rigid frame, the new clock mechanism uses a hammer to strike the bell. The new clock has three faces. The north and south faces are driven mechanically from the clock mechanism, while the west face is driven electronically.
