Castle Rushen Clock is apparently a present from Queen Elizabeth the First made in 1597 if the face is to be believed, But http://castlerushenclockconservation.blogspot.co.uk has carried out testing while the clock has been extensivly restored, which does seem to confirm a 15th century date for the original wooden clock but with the face being aded some time later, and as a sun dial initially which was probably used to set the clock.
