In 2015 the museum acquired a 19th Century longcase clock made by John Carr and Son of Swaffham. It stands 7'5" high and has an eight day striking movement. The clock was restored in 2015. These photographs and videos show its restoration (photography by Clifford J Freeman of Castlegate Clocks, Grantham). You will find the clock in the Ben Emmerson Room.
