A brief history of time (in Cranfield)

The gubbins - inside the clock tower




All being well the the church clock will strike 11 at 11 am on Sunday for the Remembrance Day event. This is all down to Gerry O'Mara who has taken personal and entirely voluntary interest in keeping the village to time for the last 18 months. There is a dodgy spring which needs repair and Smith of Derby who do all our work on the clock cannot finish it by Sunday.
 

The spring, therefore, will be left in place until after the 11th November. And Gerry will adjust the clock on the 10th November (Sunday morning) so that the chimes are on time for the Remembrance Day service. Sounds like a solution and  thanks again to Gerry. Please note that when the spring does go off (to be copied and replaced) we will be without chimes for a week or so.
