School Clock A gallery of photographs showing the reinstatement of the clock can be found in the School Building section. The weather vane now completes the architectural fittings at the top of the dome, and the clock is now* working. (*Dec 12, 2008.) The clock had been removed for restoration and repair. It consists of a two-and-a-half tonne structure made of solid oak with cast iron facings, copper roof, and a 10 ft pendulum. The other structural alterations are now complete, and the tower and adjacent room are in use as a house.
