The clock in St. Laurence Church in York is set to be restored later this year by the experts who worked on the Big Ben mechanism. Irregularities in the clock’s timekeeping and hourly chimes have led the church to restore it fully.

The work will be carried out this October by church and public clock specialists, the Cumbria Clock Company. The restoration project is expected to cost £12,000 with grants received to cover most of the expenses, however, the church council has launched an appeal to cover the remaining cost.
