The centrepiece of St Peter's Square,
Ruthin,
Denbighshire is the Joseph Peers Memorial Clock Tower which was built in 1883 and is a Grade 1 Listed monument.[1]
The monument was erected by his friends and through public donations in 1883 to commemorate the public service of Joseph Peers, who was-the Clerk of the Peace for the county of Denbigh. The Denbigh Free Press of Saturday 6 January 1883 reported that that on the previous day in his official capacity Peer's had attended the Quarter sessions for the 200th time, having held office for half a century; he was at that time 83 years old. The Denbigh Free Press announced a month later that an ornamental clock tower was to be erected in the square at Ruthin to commemorate Peer's service. The monument would cost £400 with Peers himself donating the clock which cost £40. In 2014 the original clock workings were kept at Denbighshire County Council. The architect was Mr John Douglas of Chester whose drawings of the clock tower were published in “British Architecture Journal of 1883" by the Victorian Society in 1991. Through ill health Peers was unable to attend the official handover in October 1883.
