The clock tower residence is still 'For Sale', asking price £320,000; details of the property can be seen on the estate agent's website by clicking here.
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 faces are now illuminated.
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 have been converted to a house.
