Clock and jacks.
This clockface on the east side of the tower of the parish church of St Thomas & St Edmund, Salisbury, Wiltshire, was recently renovated. It had previously been restored in 1982 and the names of the churchwardens of that time, Roger Hardy and June Elizabeth Watson, are inscribed above the jacks ( which were also restored).
By 2012 it was clear that more work was now needed and a Penrith company, The Cumbria Clock Company, carried out the work, re-painting the face on stainless steel but faithfully following the earlier design. those who worked on the restoration were David McVicar and Luke Ridge of the Cumbria company and it was finally lifted into place by steeplejacks, Arthur Needham and Richard Martin.
