The clocked-adorned village library site on Main Street with the local health centre to its rear on Francklin Road. The Francklin family, of nearby Gonalston Hall, were (are?) local landowners. John Henry Browne, who became the vicar in 1842, was instrumental in restoring the then neglected church and raising money and grants to build the village school. This former school building - with the clock - was in use until 1988 when a modern, replacement primary school was built elsewhere in the village. The clock was paid for by public subscription to commemorate George V's coronation.
