Informations supplémentaires

Standing tall above the entrance to the walled garden in St Anne's Park in Dublin City, Ireland is the clock tower built in 1850. The clock's single black dial with gold-leaf Roman numerals and hands was made by James Booth of Dublin for the Guinness family. Inside is a giant bell, inscribed with Benjamin Lee's name and the family motto, ‘Spes Mea in Deo’ (My Hope is in God). The genesis of St Anne's Park, named after a holy well, began in 1835. Benjamin Lee Guinness, of the famous brewing family, bought land in Clontarf, then acquired adjoining plots until the estate measured some 500 acres. Benjamin and his son were the prime instigators behind the ten follies, mostly built around the Naniken River.
