Making Time: Inside Lissan's Historic Clock Tower

A tour inside the clock tower at Lissan House
About this Event

Join us for a tour of Lissan’s historic clock tower, where you can explore beyond the clock face and discover the inner workings of its 200-year-old clock. The tower was added to Lissan House in the 19th century by Sir Nathaniel Staples to house the clock, which was bought from the Market House in Magherafelt after it was demolished. The man behind the clock’s recent restoration, William Martin, will be leading this fascinating tour.

Please be aware that this workshop is taking place in a historic building, which is over multiple levels. Unfortunately, access to upper floors is by stair only.

Getting here:

There is on-site parking at Lissan House, however places may be limited. Therefore, a regular shuttle bus will also be running from the nearby Lissan Parish Church, Churchtown. Please allow time for parking and getting to the house, as workshops will begin on time. If parking at Lissan House, enter by Drumgrass Road (where it meets Lissan Road/ Lough Fea Road) as a one-way system will be in place.

Please note, Lissan House does not have on site catering, and it is in a remote setting. If you would like to spend the day exploring the estate, you are welcome to bring a packed lunch which can be enjoyed outside, or you can also use the ballroom between 1pm and 2pm; where tea and coffee will be available. There are also a number of cafes, pubs and restaurants serving food in and around Cookstown.
