Hopefully you have noticed our Church clock is showing the correct time, work was undertaken during 2022 and 2023 and is now keeping very good time.
Did you know the clock and the chime mechanism is wound every week by a volunteer?
The clock mechanism is also able to compensate for temperature changes - freezing in the winter and warmer in the summer ...

You might also be interested in seeing where our tower clock mechanism powers the
hands in the clock faces.
The next picture shows a view looking up to the ceiling within the Clock Chamber where
you can see [a] the 3 drive boxes on the walls = South, West & North (we don’t have a clock face on the East side of our tower), [b] the 8 bell ropes that pass from the belfry down to the ringing chamber and [c] the ladder for access up to the belfry and the tower roof – where we get wonderful views of the village and surrounding
areas.
