Fronting the Chichester Hall the Jubilee Clock celebrates Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee. Initially, it adorned the Gough coffee Tavern and Soldiers’ Institute nearby, named after John Bartholomew Gough (b.1817). He was a local boy who emigrated to the USA, became a reformed alcoholic and a world famous temperance orator. The Freemasons’ Hall and an antique shop now occupy the site. The clock was later moved to the Chichester Hall, built in memory of the Countess of Chichester (of Enbrook).
