The Tavern Clock was sent away for restoration and has now been returned. Why not visit the church to see this unique clock in full working order
The Tavern Clock is typical of black lacquered "Shield Dial" Tavern Clocks, probably made between 1750-1780. This type of lacquering is also known as "japanning".
Earlier this year the Tavern Clock was removed from its fixings and examined by Martin Gatto, the principal of Tavernicus who are a specialist company engaged in the restoration of Tavern Clocks. For more information log onto www.tavernicus.co.uk.
