We are now actively fundraising to get the Church clock going and chiming again.
The repairs and renovations to the clock are expected to cost between £8,000 and £9,600, and fundraising activities are being led by members of our bell ringing team.
So far, we’ve raised £8,542 for the clock restoration fund, which means we’re now at a point where we can commission the work on the clock to be done.
