Tick Tock can you help repair our clock?

Old Sodbury Church is situated on a hill on the Cotswold Way. As you walk up the path you experience the peace and tranquillity as you take in the amazing views over the Severn Valley.

The Church is a central part of village life and has been since it was built in the 11th Century. It provides a venue for worship, baptisms, marriages and funerals and has close links with the adjacent village school.

Each year hundreds of people walking the Cotswold Way pass through the churchyard and sit in the shadow of the Church to take in the view.

The clock is of particular interest as it is over 130 years old. It was installed in the tower in 1887 to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria. We believe it was made by John Moore of Clerkenwell, London. It has two clock faces on the south and west facing walls of the tower. Until fairly recently it was a fully functioning clock, used by locals and visitors alike. The hands movements now need to be refurbished to return the clock to good working order. These repairs will cost £1,500.

We have set up a JustGiving fundraising campaign to allow members of the church and community to engage with the project and support the repair.

All money raised will go to the clock fund. Any extra funds raised will go towards repairs to the fabric of the church.
