A historic clock tower covered in bird poo is to chime for the first time in 40 years after plans to refurbish it were approved. The 1907-built structure at the entrance to Ashford’s Newtown ...

Seen among family portraits, is a French brass clock (left) by A.D. Mougin, dating back to around 1880, and a verge escapement torsion pendulum wall clock (right) made by Gustav Becker for Anton ...

Pendulum clocks are only accurate to about a second per day, as the rate at which a pendulum swings can vary with humidity, temperature, and the weight of extra dust.
