Dear Frank
I can indeed confirm that the clock was stopped at 12. I took the photo at
09.55am. The church on which the clock is mounted had recently been sold
and I expect that the new owners has not yet appointed a "Keeper of the
Clock"!
Regards
Dennis

Dear Dennis,
You note:
It also showed the photo in fig 5 of
the article.
Indeed so, and they drew attention to
the clock on the building behind the
empty pedestal, adding words to the
effect that:
Even with the sundial missing
experts can still tell the time.
Maybe but, I suspect, not with that
clock. It looks as though it has
been stopped at 12.
Perhaps you can confirm one way or
another!
Kirkbean is clearly a challenging
place to tell the time unless you
bring along your own equipment!
Frank
