Cumbria Clocks are known for repairing and maintaining clocks but they also work on time balls, mechanical devices such as the famed Swan at Barnard Castle and zodiacal clocks. Callum will also talk about how the Dacre company operates on a great variety of clocks and other mechanical devices from all over the world.

Palace clocks are another area of Cumbria Clocks’ involvement. All those of the royal household at Buckingham Palace, for example, are maintained or mended by them, as are the clocks at Windsor Palace.
