My notes on the Corpus Clock: http://fanf.livejournal.com/94043.html http://fanf.livejournal.com/98545.html If you are in Cambridge, listen out for the chimes from Great St Mary's church next to the market square - the GSM chimes were copied for the palace of Westminster's clock tower. Also listen out for Trinity's clock which strikes the hour twice, and which has a very informative web site: http://trin-hosts.trin.cam.ac.uk/clock/ Trinity's clock is based on the design of the palace of Westminster's clock. Frank King has information about some notable sundials: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~fhk1/Sundials/WriteUps/CBsundialWalk.pdf The Royal Greenwich Observatory was housed next to Cambridge University's Institute of Astronomy for several years before it was finally shut down. I don't know of any notable timekeeping activities, though.
