Sorry but none of you has it yet but I think Kev has it. Big clue, it's thought to be the oldest mechanical clock in the world.

The clock workings at Salisbury cathedral, reported to be the oldest working clock mechanism. It doesn't have a clock face but rings a bell every hour to 'announce' the time.

You don't give as size but I think it may be a lot smaller than it looks. If so:

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
We had something else a little while ago that was wrongly identified as one. Is it a shot tower?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Haha, you're right, it really does look like a Blackpool Tower mimic in brick! Alternatively, it's a version made out of red lego bricks.
It looks like India Mill chimney in Darwen but what's that on the top?
