Historic clock returns home after restoration
Western Daily Press
|June 27, 2025
A CHURCH is set to welcome home what experts believe is one of the oldest working time-pieces in the country.
The much-loved, turret clock has been undergoing specialist restoration since its removal in March from St Catherine's Church in Montacute, near Yeovil, Somerset.
The timepiece was originally thought to have been constructed in the 1600s but research has confirmed the clock's mechanism is significantly older than first believed and was probably originally constructed in the early 1400s.
Specialist restorer Timsbury Clocks has undertaken the restoration project.
