More about this scene
Constructed c1600, this was probably a yeoman farmer`s house associated with the Hallingbury Park estate. It was later split into two cottages, one of which was the local police house. The whole property was restored in the1960s. The clock itself is a one-handed 18th-century model, and has been a useful village timekeeper.

George had 3 brothers - Harry who was killed in the First World War, Hugh who was born deaf and dumb, and William who was my father. D. Sampford
My Nan and Grandad lived in the Clock House for a long time, from birth I spent many happy christmas's here with my big family.
