Since St Thomas' church tower was erected in the 19th century, the good people of Stourbridge have been checking the church clock for the time. Even today, gazing up at the tower is easier than getting your phone out.

The clock is currently broken. You probably noticed, it’s not telling the correct time for a while, and we’ve been having professional assessments of its condition. It needs new motors and gearing, and other modifications to get the clock ticking again.

We will need almost £13,000 to fix the problems and to pay for scaffolding (and VAT of course). We hope to draw on the generosity of our whole community, to get the clock repaired and to make Stourbridge Tick again!

We’ll be grateful for every donation, and will be delighted to publicly celebrate contributions from corporate donors.
