Cold Ashby Church Clock
Posted by Michael Lee on 16 September 2020
Many thanks for your message, Michael.
As a result, I have found your website, the story of the Ashby clock and your excellent photos.
If I am reading 'Round and about Cold Ashby'(May 1995) correctly, the existing clock in the tower was presented by Thomas F Hazlehurst, Squire of Cold Ashby, in 1917. This was probably the 'new' clock you mention - whether this indicates that the Ashby clock was 'retired' at this time or earlier I don't yet know - perhaps you do!

I would give details of this movement which dates back to c1610.
It is now in working order and keeps good time.
