St Mary's Church Clock Restoration Project

Our church clock stopped ticking in early January, and our hourly chimes fell silent. The clock has been keeping "Ilmington Time" since 1868 so was in need of some tlc. A damaged bolt and pin needed replacing, and the clock needed to be fully stripped, cleaned, lubricated and rebuilt - jobs far beyond its annual maintenance. We're hugely grateful to our neighbours at Imington Community Shop for so generously funding this project - and restoring the villages's natural rhythm. Thank you!
