Today the church clock has lost much of its importance as a timepiece but it remains a much loved part of many communities. This new, accessible history of church clocks traces their history from the clocks installed by wealthy abbeys and cathedrals in the middle ages through to the present day. Hugh Rock is a former manufacturer of organic soft drinks. A graduate of Balliol College, Oxford, he is interested in making things and how things were made, particularly during the great flourishing of industry in Victorian times.
