Wellow: School’s Nightingale-gifted clock gets Repair Shop fix

Mrs Larcombe said it was “nerve-racking… and also so exciting” to hand the clock over to the team for its transformation.

“We’re in a really special position in Wellow because we have all of the log books that go right back to when the school was first opened… they record daily life in the school,” Mrs Larcombe said.

“In 1877 there is an entry that says that a clock, the gift of Miss F Nightingale, was hung,” she added.

It has remained a cherished and admired feature on the wall of the school’s library and their biggest claim to fame.

The school was built in 1875 after Florence Nightingale’s father gifted a piece of the land.
