Downham Market was originally a Saxon Town and has many historic buildings to visit such as the Town Hall, St Edmunds Church and not forgetting the Town Clock, an interesting and attractive centrepiece to Downham Market, which overlooks the market square.
The black and white clock was erected in 1878, presented to the town by James Scott esq. and is an octagonal shape, with a rectangular clock chamber topped off with a weather vane.
