The clock, a familiar local land-mark in Bolney, was added in 1897 to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.

Its chiming on the quarter hour is no longer working and a recent inspection highlighted the clock needs much updating including the repainting of its face.

The Church Council (PCC) operates on a very tight budget and receives no external funding so is entirely dependent upon local support. The cost of maintaining the fabric of the church and churchyard and keeping it open for all is currently around £55,000 per annum. We therefore have to raise funds for special projects.

The estimate for the Clock Project is £5,367. The church council is paying for this project with a loan We are asking Bolney for URGENT help to repay the loan.
