The Salisbury Cathedral clock, a large iron-framed clock without a dial located in the aisle of Salisbury Cathedral. Dating from about 1386, it is claimed to be the oldest working clock in the world. The clock is one of the group of 14th to 16th century clocks to be found in the West of England. (See also Wells, Exeter, Ottery St Mary, and Wimborne Minster.) It can be dated to around 1386, and most of the parts are original. Other clocks from the 14th century (the 1st century in which the mechanical clock flourished throughout Europe), such as those at Rouen or Dijon, have either been lost, destroyed, or substantially modified. The Wells Cathedral clock might have been made by the same craftsmen as the Salisbury clock, but is usually dated to around 1392, and is now relocated in the Science Museum in London, where it continues to operate.
