Original installation plaque
Wonderful news from St John’s – the church clock is back in action!
Penny Miller writes from the church:
“We are delighted to announce that the St John’s Hampton Wick church clock has been reinstated! The clock was installed in 1900 but for the last 7 years we have been unable to wind it as our insurers would not cover the slightly perilous climb up the tower to wind it. A new electronic winding mechanism has now been installed to the original clock, and so the clock is now back in fine working order and will chime from 7am to 10pm daily, and we hope will add to the special sense of place and community that Hampton Wick has.”
