Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.

The clock dial and mechanism have been a part of the history of the school for 150 years but following a period of neglect are now in poor condition. Having been looked at by a local clock engineer we would like to raise the money necessary to save the clock.

What we'll deliver:

  • Restore the clock dial and mechanism back to what it looked like in 1872

Why it's a great idea:

We have just received £8200 to rebuild the bell tower which was rotting, but we are still missing the funding to restore the clock alongside this. I think this is the opportune moment to restore the clock and restore this crucial part of Laughton's past so that it can be a part of Laughton's future for generations to come.

Steps to get it done:

  • Once the funding is complete the clock engineer will be brought in to do the necessary work
