The building was Grade 11 listed 12.9.1989 (No.66915) and described as :

 

' Clock tower (incorporating war memorial). c.1830, slightly altered. Coursed
dressed granite, with wooden bellcote on roof. Square plan, plus a rectangular
porch on the south side. Early English style, with chamfered 2-centred arched
openings and hoodmoulds. Three stages, each set back above a weathered offset.
The porch has a large arched outer doorway furnished with added ornamental
wrought-iron gates, a small window in each side, and an embattled parapet over
a weathered band; inside, the formerly matching inner doorway is now filled by a
granite war memorial with the inscription:-
PASS NOT IN SORROW
BUT WITH PRIDE
AND MAY WE LIVE
AS NOBLY AS THEY DIED
1914-1918
followed by 39 names, plus 17 added for 1939-1945. The sides and rear of the
1st stage have blind arched doorways. The upper stages are the same on all
sides: the 2nd has windows with Y-tracery; the 3rd has small coupled lancets
under a square hoodmould, and a large clock face above; the top has an
embattled parapet, and a tall octagonal bellcote in matching style, with a swept
cap and weathervane. The boundary wall of the small square enclosure round the
tower is of large punch-dressed granite blocks, in sections approx. 3 metres long
with concave coping between short square monolithic piers which have square
caps and are linked by twisted iron rails, with a wrought-iron gate in the centre
of the front. (A modern public lavatory built in the enclosure to the rear is not
included in the item.)
The tower, built on a site known in the C18 as St Day Green, is a prominent
focal point in this small town '.

I am most grateful to Bob King, Webmaster of the village website for sending me all these photographs and the following information about the clink. 



http://www.sttudy.org.uk/introduction.htm

 

 

 

On the north side of the churchyard, in the centre of the village by the horse chestnut tree, stands the rectangular 17th Century building of stone rubble with a rag slate roof, known as the “Clink”.  Originally a church ale house, it was later the local constable’s lock-up in the days when the churchwardens were responsible for such functions, and inside is a notice board formerly on the outside wall, warning vagrants that they are not welcome!

Later it was a Dame School when children had to bring a 1d and a lump of coal.  When the new school was built, the Clink was used as a night school and village meeting room.  The Royal Order of Buffaloes and Art Society have used the upper room, with its attractive barrel ceiling, and the ground floor is regularly used for community functions and coffee mornings when many thousands of pounds have been raised for charitable causes.

Owned by the Rector and Churchwardens it was fully restored in 1986.  The high quality of the restoration work (by builder Gary Keat under the direction of architect John Tanner, both parishioners) earned a Commendation from the Cornish Building Group.  In 1999 the Clink was re-roofed by Gary and Graham Keat.

The lock-up or clink at Stratton has long been demolished but the door is preserved at
St Andrew's Church, Sanctuary Lane, EX23 9DD.
The heavy studs on the door have also been used for the word 'clink'.
