Clock Dial Restoration Update

Dear Residents and Friends of Lepton Village,

We are delighted to report our fundraising target for the clock dial restoration has been reached through a combination of voluntary donations and grant funding. Thank you so much for your support. 

The clock and four dials were installed and dedicated in 1921 by the then residents of Lepton to remember those from the village who died in the Great War of 1914 – 1918. Their names are recorded on the granite tablet to the right of the main tower doors (to which were added the names of those who died in WW2) while another tablet to the left refers to the clock. The dial on the north face of the tower is particularly splendid as it is painted with gold leaf outlining.

With such a long passage of time it is not surprising that the condition of the dial had deteriorated and while periodic maintenance had been done over the years sadly it was in a poor visual state.

The restored dial was put back in July 2026.
