A new clock for the tower designed and constructed by Reuben Bosworth at a cost of £70 was installed in 1848. [3] It comprised two dials, one facing the town street, and the other the road from Nottingham to Leake.

St. Lawrence, Gotham is the largest of the five churches and was re-ordered in 2010 to create a flexible modern worship space that is used for many different events throughout the year.
