Clock Conservation visit to National Trust Baddersley Clinton

It was very good to spend a day carrying out  the annual clock conservation visit to Baddersley Clinton a National Trust property near Solihull Birmingham  yesterday, apart from the weather which was dreadful the house and staff were welcoming.

We moved a couple of clocks  to better positions and carried out an inspection lubrication and gently internal vacuuming  of the others.  The lyre clock  (photograph) was moved to a room which is themed as a 'room in mourning' so we moved the clock to the room and promptly covered it with a black cloth, but it does look very atmospheric.
