St James Church Clock Face Repair published their Delivery Report!3 years ago
Delivered 27 May 2020
Impact data and claims within this report are provided by the project creator and have not been independently verified by Spacehive.
This historic clock dating back to 1816 is an iconic feature of Slaithwaite and was originally funded by public donations. Please help us restore the clock face, which is in desperate need of repair!
This clock has been serviced every year and costs have been historically been met through various fundraising efforts. The last repair cost £1,500 a couple of years ago, however the glass is now dropping out and a white plastic bag is covering one part of one face. This is a major repair now - there are three clock faces to repair and funding for clocks only appears available for the mechanism rather than the faces.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
This is a now or never opportunity to repair this special feature of our village. If not repaired while the tower scaffolding is up, the cost would exceed £20,000 so it is really important that we do it now to coincide with the structural works. Despite mobile phones the clock is used by many as a time check. The clock will chime each quarter of an hour and will be heard all over the village.
Steps to get it done:
A plaque in the church commemorates the details and date the clock was installed over 200 years ago.

It's been a couple of weeks since this wonderful project brought its campaign to an end, so we thought we'd give you a quick update to allay any concerns that pledges have not yet been collected. First of all, thank you once again for all your generous donations - this really couldn't have happened without you! As this campaign was launched and completed a little earlier than the other projects within the Kirklees Growing Great Places programme, we are just awaiting the final steps of the regular protocol to be completed before pledge collections can begin. If you pledged to this project, GoCardless will still be messaging you 3 working days before your pledge is collected, as per our previous email, so please keep your eyes peeled as we expect this to be very soon. If you have any other questions about this, please get in touch via support@spacehive.com. We're sorry for any inconvenience the delay may have caused, however you can rest assured there's nothing to worry about! Regards, The Spacehive team
