ST. LAURENCE'S CHURCH |

THE CLOCK We have discovered that the neglected clock which was given to the parish in 1840 which states that it was made by David Ferris of Calne is in fact made by Paine of London and is a top quality clock. The quarter hour striking mechanism does not work at the present time, it just strikes the hour, using the tenor bell. The safety catches and weight wires could fail. Currently the clock is in need of professional attention to make it safe to use and put it in full working order. This would include restoring the quarter hour striking during the daytime and making this aspect of the clock electrically winding. Click here to see images of the clock as it is now.
