The Quarter Jacks of Christ Church still ring out the quarter hour. Carved in 1728, the Jacks were made for the medieval church of Holy Trinity which stood on this site. It was demolished in 1786 to widen Broad Street. The Jacks vanished, but were found years later in a builder’s yard in Bath. They were returned to the new church, completed in 1791. This fine Georgian church was designed by William Paty.
