Chris, That's interesting. Does the clock have a face on the tower, or does it just toll on the hour and quarter hours. Regards, Bob S. On Sun, Oct 14, 2012 at 1:55 AM, Chris Mitchell chris.mitch...@which.net wrote: A friend of mine is the Keeper of the Clock in the church at Cropredy in

Thanks Paul. It was made in 1831. The date's on the quarter dial and it's contemporary with the rest of the clock. One day I'll go back and see if the rope can be moved out of the way to get a cleaner shot. It's a bell rope - the 8 bells are above the clock room and the ringers' room is below.

Chris, On the tower roof with only a 1 foot parapet - yes quite scary. You'd need some extra shake reduction. Regards, Bob S. On Sun, Oct 14, 2012 at 1:29 PM, Chris Mitchell chris.mitch...@which.net wrote: On 14 October 2012 13:22, Bob Sullivan rf.sulli...@gmail.com wrote: Chris, That's
