After years of not working St Mary’s Church in the village is hoping to get its clock back ticking.The £1,000 works will also bring back the familiar sound of the bell chiming every hour.The historic Grade I listed building dates back to the 12th century, but the clock is believed to have been erected in the 1950s. “This is a project for everyone in Pinchbeck rather than a church thing,” she said. “A lot of people drive and walk past.

Anyone wishing to donate can hand in donations to the church, making sure they mark it as for the clock
