Stroud News and Journal gave the following summary of the restoration:
"A historic Stroud clock is tick-tocking for the first time in 50 years after a recently completed restoration project.
The Black Boy Clock, which dates back to the 18th century, is running again on the old Black Boy School building on Castle Street following an £8,000 refit.
Richard Mellish, who owns the former school building, masterminded the year-long project along with a £2,000 grant from Stroud Town Council.
“It was bought by public subscription originally so it is a part of Stroud, really,” he said. “I am very pleased it is finally completed.”
Town mayor John Marjoram was also pleased with the horological masterpiece.
“It is a fascinating clock and we are delighted that it is finally working again,” he said. “It is all these little things that I think really make the town what it is.”" - has type | est de type
