Installation of the restored Redesdale Hall clock tower in Moreton-in-Marsh commenced today, following months of painstaking works behind the scenes by Oak Frame Limited (timber work), John Taylor & Co (bells), Smiths of Derby (clock mechanism/clock faces/weathervane), Baytree Metal Roofing Ltd (leadwork), Spartan Scaffolding (Scaffolding), Haysham Electrical Contractors (small power) and Heritage Roofing Company (Oxford) Limited (Main Contractor). Works include sympathetic renewal and restoration of oak timbers, renovation of the weathervane, which depicts the Mitford family crest (Baron of Redesdale), renovation of clock faces, renewal of the clock mechanism, reintroduction of bells to the tower, leadworks to the tower decking and cupola and new electrical feeds for the clock, bell strikers and lighting.
We would like to thank The Redesdale Hall Trust, Woldon Architects, Momemtum Structural Engineers and Julie Crawshaw MSc, MRTPI for giving us the opportunity to be involved in this historical project that will be sat in the skyline of the Cotswolds for centuries to come.
