We are delighted to report that we have now reached our fundraising target of £9,600 for the repairs and enhancements to the church clock!
A specialist clock repairer has now been instructed to source the parts needed, so we can soon look forward to the clock working and chiming again.
The clock will be fitted with a night silencer, so the chimes can be silenced during the night if needed, and a regulator that will keep the clock in good time and manage the Spring and Autumn hour changes, without the need for manual intervention.
We still have some money coming in for the clock, which will be kept aside for ongoing maintenance.
Thank you so much to everyone who has supported this campaign, and the village bell ringing team who have led the fundraising campaign. It really shows what can be achieved when a community works together!
