Details of the big day can be found <a href="http://new.edp24.co.uk/content/news/story.aspx?brand=EDPOnline&category=News&tBrand=EDPOnline&tCategory=News&itemid=NOED23%20Jun%202008%2016%3A59%3A48%3A487">here,</a><br />many thanks to the EDP.<br />More details can also be found from the BBC website, which had a feature of the event on the news last night. For those that missed it, the BBC have since uploaded the report onto their <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/">iplayer</a>. To use the player please click on the link and follow the instructions on how to install it. <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7470348.stm">This</a> is the link for the footage.<br />It's a shame they didn't quite get the name right (Micklemyre) but at least it sounds the same.<br />We had the clock for sometime before we got the all clear and it took us approx 2 months to completely overhaul it. According to Mr Michlmayr the turret clock was built around 1676 by John Begulay a clockmaker from Swanton Morley and a blacksmith Matthias Fairchild. The wooden dial is dated 1762, with a blue and red painted pediment. The clock was later fitted with a Thwaites and Reed setting dial.<br />Watch this space as we will soon post some more pictures of the clock<br />taken by our team.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8455478583027021561-2085693445021629272?l=michlmayr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Michlmayr Clock & Watchmakershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10265431464455406940noreply@blogger.com0
