Surrounded by beautiful grounds Upton Hall is a Grade 2* listed building and houses the British Horological Institute's intriguing clock and watch collection. Started in 1858, the British Horological Museum has been growing ever since. The Institute moved to Upton Hall in 1972 and has grown to a point where it is one of the major horological collections in the country. All types of timekeeping devices are featured in the collection, and although the Institute specialises in the collection of modern electric clocks, all other patterns of clock and watches are well represented.
