This week the horological world has lost one of the modern day experts in the field of turret clocks. He will be greatly missed by all his family and friends and everyone in the turret clock world. He was our go to expert especially where Big Ben was concerned.

As part of our tour of the Vale of Glamorgan we had a presentation by @chrismckay1000 on his new book on The Port Regis clock and our usual fantastic accompaniment by Stewart on some of the marvellous organs in places we visited.

@bexhillmuseum Thanks. If you ever see the full name we would appreciate knowing it so we can add the details to the AHS Turret clock database which will ultimately contain details of every UK made turret clock in the world. We are adding new records every day.

A few slides from our talk last night by Chris McKay on the gravity escapement. We hold regular talks on Zoom by members and experts in the field of Turret Clocks.

[AHS Turret Clock Group @AHSTCG]

Thanks for this. We did have some details recorded for Burford church but this adds more details.

@johnevigar John, thanks. I will message you later today to see what we could organise.

[AHS Turret Clock Group @AHSTCG]

@johnevigar We are recording every Turret clock in the country into our database and church guides sometimes give clues to their history. Is this collection of guidebooks something we could access in some way? Any help appreciated.
