Renovations for our Grade II Listed Romanby Memorial Clock Tower - PHASE II COMPLETE
As briefed out earlier this year, work is now underway this year and next for some much-needed TLC for our 98 year-old Memorial Clock Tower, ahead of its centenary in 2027.
The structural survey of the clock tower was completed, and we are pleased to report that the main structure is inherently sound, but there are some detailed works that need to be done to help preserve it for the years ahead.
We have already had the work done to repair and repoint the steps of the clock tower, and now we have completed repairs to the masonry and fully re-pointed the structure with lime-based mortar (heritage approved).
Finally - and separate to the structural aspects, we are still planning to fully restore the clock faces and the 1926 clock mechanism next year - again with grant funding which we are in the process of securing.
We will keep everyone informed as the work progresses across this year and next - with the aim of having the tower and the garden ready for a re-dedication at its 100-year birthday!
Best wishes,
Stuart Bradnam, Chair, RPC, on behalf of your Parish Council Team.
