Wadebridge Town Council would like to inform parishioners that an original component of the town’s historic tower clock, dating back to the 1800s, has recently developed a fault and now requires repair.
This part is not something that can be purchased "off the shelf" due to its age and unique design. However, even if replacement parts were commercially available, the Council is committed to taking a conservation-first approach. This means we aim to preserve the original craftsmanship, materials, and historical integrity of the clock wherever possible.
Specialist horologists (clockmakers) will be involved in carefully repairing or recreating the component in a manner that is sympathetic to the clock’s heritage. We understand the clock is an important symbol in the town’s history and appreciate your support as we work to preserve it for future generations.
Thank you for your understanding and continued pride in Wadebridge’s heritage.
