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 ...​

Clock mechanism information -
​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.
