Repairs to the clock of St Peter’s Church in Southborough mean it is partially back in action after falling silent for many months.
The clock that looks out over the famous cricket pitch has again been striking every hour since it was repaired on Thursday.
St Peter’s is the oldest church in Southborough and was designed by Decimus Burton.
The church still lacks the funds to restore the quarter and half hour chimes and donations are still gratefully received.
An appeal has raised only £ 2,000 of the £ 5,000 needed to complete the clock repairs and improvements. 54 people have contributed, according to the Just Giving website.
One plan is to purchase new equipment so that the bells can be silenced overnight.
