Miss Mary Jane Spenceley (1857-1911) generously offered to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in1897 by paying the Famous Potts Company of Leeds, to put a large clock on the then Post Office.

​

The Potts clock kept ticking all this time, for 103 years its mechanism was housed inside a plain pine case (4ft by 15in by 9in deep) in the upstairs bedroom. The occupants were responsible for seeing that it was wound and accurate, and the parish council paid for it's upkeep.

​

In 2000, the clock was converted to electricity so no longer needed to be wound.
