There is not a clock in the tower at the present time, but in 

 the year 1671 one was set up by a Mr. Watts. This is also said 

 to have been placed in Bradford tower. About the end of last 

 October the old clock at Bradford was sold for old iron, so it 

 may have been the one originally in Thornford Church.

 on Dorset Bells desire to express their thanks for the great 

 assistance they have received from members of the Dorset Field
