Tirley, The School c.1950

More about this scene
Tirley lies a few miles downstream from Tewkesbury on the Severn. The school was established by the church in 1842, and its design is typical of others found in villages hereabouts. A curiosity of the church is its clock, which was made just after the Great War by Hubert John Carter, the village jack-of-all-trades. Still in use today, the remarkable timepiece was built from odds and ends, including a pistol barrel, a starting handle, parts of farm machinery, a file, a spade, the remains of a beam drill, components from a penny farthing bicycle, a circular saw blade, 6in nails, a gimlet, the backplate of a baker's oven and lawn mower parts.
