"In 1898 Mr Marshall had provided the village with an impressive Post Office, complete with ‘art nouveau’ clock, similar in style to the clock and sundial he had installed at Hambleton Hall. For nearly 70 years the clock was wound weekly by George Bushell, whose wife received the British Empire Medal for fifty years’ service as Postmistress, beginning in 1932 (Ovens & Sleath 2002, 200)."

Unfortunately I do not think the clock is in working order, as I visited at around 3PM, thee clock showed a time of what could best be called '5:30'
