Don’t forget to book your tickets for this years AHS turret clock forum being held on 7th September at the BHI Upton Hall. We have some excellent speakers who are experts in their subjects.
This week the horological world has lost one of the modern day experts in the field of turret clocks. He will be greatly missed by all his family and friends and everyone in the turret clock world. He was our go to expert especially where Big Ben was concerned.
As part of our tour of the Vale of Glamorgan we had a presentation by @chrismckay1000 on his new book on The Port Regis clock and our usual fantastic accompaniment by Stewart on some of the marvellous organs in places we visited.
The second & last day of the AHS Turret Clock Group tour of the Vale of Glamorgan and we started it with a unknown 18th century birdcage followed a 3 train Gillet & Johnston. We then went to Cardiff Castle and saw the 1870 2 train Dent and finally a 1946 Gillett & Johnston.
The first day of the AHS Turret Clock Group tour of the Vale of Glamorgan and we started it with a very nice Vulliamy clock, followed by 2 @SmithofDerby clocks and an Answorth Thwaites. More to come tomorrow .
Two weeks until the forum and only a few tickets left now.

AHS turret clock group visit yesterday to see the turret clock at St Paul’s London. @StPaulsLondon @SmithofDerby
A few slides from our talk last night by Chris McKay on the gravity escapement. We hold regular talks on Zoom by members and experts in the field of Turret Clocks.
We are recording every Turret clock in the country into our database and church guides sometimes give clues to their history. Is this collection of guidebooks something we could access in some way? Any help appreciated.
